Influence of Bed Size on the Flow Characteristics and Porosity of Randomly Packed Beds of Spheres
BookDOI
Nanoparticle heat transfer and fluid flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of Nanoparticle suspensions in Thermo/Fluid and Biomedical Applications is discussed. But the authors do not discuss the application of nanoparticles in medical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
A thermal-ablation bioheat model including liquid-to-vapor phase change, pressure- and necrosis-dependent perfusion, and moisture-dependent properties
John Abraham,Ephraim M Sparrow +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a bioheat model is applied to evaluate the use of elevated-temperature thermal therapies for the non-surgical ablation of diseased tissue for the treatment of menorrhagia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer in all pipe flow regimes: laminar, transitional/intermittent, and turbulent
TL;DR: In this article, a predictive theory is presented which is capable of providing quantitative results for the heat transfer coefficients in round pipes for the three possible flow regimes: laminar, transitional, and turbulent.

Support apparatus with a plurality of thermal zones providing localized cooling
TL;DR: An apparatus for supporting a human or animal body, while selectively cooling weightbearing areas of the body in order to prevent or reduce damage from ischemia includes a cooling layer that is partitioned into a plurality of zones, and a surface disposed over the cooling layer to support the body as mentioned in this paper.
