RISImplementation of Phase Change in Numerical Models of Heat Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates some of the numerical problems involved in simulating heat transfer in porous media in the presence of phase change. Applications of this type of simulation include ...
A Network Thermodynamic Model of Kidney Perfusion With a Cryoprotective Agent
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A network thermodynamic model has been devised to describe the coupled movement of water and a permeable additive within a kidney during perfusion under the combined action of diffusive, ...
Measurement of Burn-Induced Leakage of Macromolecules in Living Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental technique has been developed to measure changes in vascular permeability caused by thermal trauma to the microvascular bed of the hamster cheek pouch. A solution of flourescein ...
Therapeutic Effects of Postburn Cooling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of cooling as first aid in burn injury has been widely justified and employed although, at present, there exists no defined scientific verification of its physiological benefit or a ...
Analysis of the Water Permeability of Human Granulocytes at Subzero Temperatures in the Presence of Extracellular Ice
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The plasma membrane water permeability of human granulocytes in the presence of extracellular ice was determined experimentally on a cryomicroscope. Transient volumes of individual cells were ...
A Finite Element Model of Burn Injury in Blood-Perfused Skin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The burn process resulting from the application of a hot, cylindrical source to the skin surface was modeled using the finite element technique. A rotationally symmetric 125-element mesh was ...
Measurement of the Water Permeability of Single Human Granulocytes on a Microscopic Stopped-Flow Mixing System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The water permeability (Lp ) of human granulocytes was measured for individual isolated cells with a novel, microscopic stopped-flow mixing system. Changes in volume were monitored as a cell ...
Microscopic Instrumentation and Analysis of Laser-Tissue Interaction in a Skin Flap Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A dorsal skin flap model for microcirculatory studies has been modified for “in vivo” studies of laser-tissue interaction with microcirculation. An experimental apparatus has been built implementing ...
Volumetric Changes in Cells During Freezing and Thawing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A thermodynamic model is presented to describe the combined freezing and thawing process for living cells. Continuous changes in the cell volume are predicted according to the thermal protocol ...
An Analysis of Coupled Multicomponent Diffusion in Interstitial Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A one-dimensional multicomponent kinetic model was developed to simulate the interstitial diffusion of macromolecules in a three component system, consisting of water, the macromolecule and the ...
