Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Biological Processes focuses on emerging areas in fluid flow and heat transfer relevant to biosystems and medical technology. This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to provide a comprehensive prospective on biofluid mechanics and heat transfer advances, and includes reviews of the most recent methods in modeling of flows in biological media. Authored by internationally recognized researchers, each chapter provides a strong introductory section that reviews the current literature. This is useful to the experienced readers already active in the field as well as to newcomers who are interested in learning more about these areas. Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Biological Processes is an indispensable reference for professors, graduate students, professionals, and clinical researchers in the fields of biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry and medicine working on applications of fluid flow, heat transfer, and transport phenomena in biomedical technology. Key Features: Provides a wide range of biological and clinical applications of fluid flow and heat transfer in biomedical technology, Covers topics such as bioheat transfer, microbial transport, fluid-biofilm coupling, transdermal delivery, cardiovascular considerations, hemodynamics, and flows in microscale environments. Reviews the most recent advances in modeling techniques. Book jacket
