2019, Journal of Thermal BiologyCitation Excerpt :The dimensions of the final designed model are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 2. Also, the dimensions of the different layers of tissue are selected based on the information available in similar works (Ahmadikia et al., 2012; Dutta and Kundu, 2018; Jiang et al., 2002; Karmani, 2006; Ostrowski et al., 2015; Poppendiek et al., 1967), and are presented in Table 2. The heat transfer in 3D model of the human forearm is analyzed by considering appropriate thermophysical properties (Table 3) and boundary conditions.
Effect of the trabecular bone microstructure on measuring its thermal conductivity: A computer modeling-based study
2018, Journal of Thermal BiologyCitation Excerpt :The yellow marrow value provided by Hasgall et al. (2016) is taken from McIntosh and Anderson (2010), who simply assign a porcine fat tissue value of 0.19 W m−1 K−1, which is not very conclusive. The Poppendiek et al. (1967) also reports a value of 0.22 W m−1 K−1 for bovine marrow, although they do not clarify whether it is for red or yellow. We conducted different simulations to determine the causes of the dispersion of the k values in the literature for trabecular bone.

The thermal conductivity research on biological fluids and tissues presented here was supported by the Medicine and Dentistry Branch of the Office of Naval Research. An early version of the thermal conductivity apparatus used in this research was first developed in connection with Grant H6699 from the National Institutes of Health where the equipment was used to measure the thermal conductivity of blood.
