RISA Three-Dimensional Variable Geometry Countercurrent Model for Whole Limb Heat Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new formulation of the combined macro and microvascular model for heat transfer in a human arm developed in Song et al. [1] is proposed using a recently developed approximate theory for ...
The Bleed Off Perfusion Term in the Weinbaum-Jiji Bioheat Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The microvascular organization and thermal equilibration of the primary and secondary arteries and veins that comprise the bleed off circulation to the muscle fibers from the parent countercurrent ...
Enhancement in the Effective Thermal Conductivity in Rat Spinotrapezius Due to Vasoregulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study was undertaken to gain a better understanding of the countercurrent heat exchange of thermally significant blood vessels in skeletal muscle by measuring the vascular structure and ...
On the Generalization of the Weinbaum-Jiji Bioheat Equation to Microvessels of Unequal Size; The Relation Between the Near Field and Local Average Tissue Temperatures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The extensive series of experiments reported in Lemons et al. [1] show that measureable local tissue temperature fluctuations are observed primarily in the vicinity of the 100–500 μm countercurrent ...
Theory and Experiment for the Effect of Vascular Microstructure on Surface Tissue Heat Transfer—Part I: Anatomical Foundation and Model Conceptualization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new theoretical model supported by ultrastructural studies and high-spatial resolution temperature measurements is presented for surface tissue heat transfer in a two-part study. In this first ...
Theory and Experiment for the Effect of Vascular Microstructure on Surface Tissue Heat Transfer—Part II: Model Formulation and Solution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper the conceptual three-layer representation of surface tissue heat transfer proposed in Weinbaum, Jiji and Lemons [I], is developed into a detailed quantitative model. This model ...
