About this title

Synopsis

This textbook is a unique resource that demonstrates how engineering principles can be applied to solve medical challenges. It offers a toolkit on how to model heat, mass transfer, and fluid dynamics in the human body. The book discusses numerical solutions for physiological processes related to cryosurgery, hyperthermia, thermoregulation of the human body, thermal and fluid dynamics in coronary stents, magneto-hydrodynamics in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and cardiac acoustics. The book looks at physiological mechanisms that can be classified as Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids and clarifies how to leverage the Navier-Stokes equations, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Fick's law, and Non-Newtonian principles to model them.

This book is aimed at students and researchers interested in pursuing engineering studies with a focus on solving medical questions. Drawing from the editor’s 50 years of experience and knowledge gained in medical engineering, this book provides a practical and comprehensive approach to study thermo-haemo-dynamics in the human body. It explains how to model the described physiological process through worked examples and providing the equations behind the models.

About the Author

Fabio Gori (Fabio Gori Ammannati from 2021) is Professor of Technical Physics at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. For over five decades, he has been teaching and mentoring hundreds of engineering students in several branches of Engineering, as Chemical, Civil, Electronics, Energy, Informatics, Management, Mechanical, and Medical, as well as in Architecture, during their bachelor, masters, and PhD studies. His teaching career spans several Institutions, including the Universities of Bologna, Florence, Siena, Reggio Calabria and the Polytechnic of Milan, in Italy. He was Professor at the University of New York at Stony Brook and Visiting Professor at Imperial College in London and Cornell University, Minnesota and Chicago in the USA. His work specializes in heat transfer and thermofluid dynamics, focusing on both laminar and turbulent flows as well as thermo-haemo-dynamics of physiological processes in Medical Engineering.
