Summary

In-depth coverage of the flow of body fluids, drug delivery systems, artificial organ design, and human tissue engineeringTransport Phenomena in Biomedical Engineering: Artificial Organ Design and Development, and Tissue Engineeringprovides a comprehensive examination of fluid mechanics within living organisms. In order to construct artificial organs, physiological systems of humans must be analyzed and understood. These include heat conduction, convection, fluid flow and pressure drop in the flow of blood, oxygen transport, and other systems. This book thoroughly covers each system and phenomenon.Transport Phenomena in Biomedical Engineeringfeatures: Comprehensive and interdisciplinary coverage of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics Thorough information on tissue engineering Worked examples and exercises illustrating the equations derived. End-of-chapter case studiesThis leading-edge work covers: Fluid Mechanics; Molecular Diffusion; Osmotic Pressure, Permeability and Solute Transport; Rheology of Blood and Transport; Gas Transport; Pharmacokinetic Analysis; Bioartificial Organs; Porous Media; Bio-Heat Transfer; Tissue Engineering; Analytical Solutions to Parabolic Partial Differential Equations; Numerical Solutions to Parabolic Partial Differential Equations
