Abstract: Heat transfer to individual blood vessels has been investigated in three configurations: a single vessel, two vessels in counterflow, and a single vessel near the skin surface. For a single ...

Abstract: The general problem of condensation in a variable acceleration field was investigated analytically. The case of the linear variation, which occurs in a constant cross section, rotating thermosyphon, ...

Abstract: A steady-state analytical method has been developed to estimate the amount of heat extracted from a blood vessel running close to the skin surface which is cooled in a symmetrical fashion by ...

Abstract: A finite difference heat transfer model has been developed to predict the Safe Touch Temperatures (STT) for plates made of different materials. SST can be defined as the highest temperature ...

Abstract: An analytical model of transient heat transfer in living biological tissue is considered. The model includes storage, generation, conduction, and convective transport of heat in the tissue. ...

Abstract: Despite its many advantages, thermography as a medical diagnostic tool has two basic limitations: 1 its images are indirect manifestations of interior thermal structure and hence do not yield ...

Abstract: An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique, potentially suitable for in vivo temperature measurements, has been developed based on the temperature response of nitroxide stable free radicals. ...
