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.
