Analytical analysis of the dual-phase-lag model of bioheat transfer equation during transient heating of skin tissue

摘要

Dual-phase-lag model of bioheat transfer equation is utilized in treating the transient heat transfer problems in skin tissue considering prevalent heating conditions in thermal therapy applications, namely, pulse train and periodic heat flux. Comparisons between the presented analytical results for limiting cases and previous studies display an excellent agreement. The effects of temperature gradient relaxation time on the tissue temperature, damage, and also on the blood perfusion in skin tissue are studied.
