Reviews “A reference manual for students and researchers in bioengineering . . . Combines fundamental and applied research topics of fluid dynamics and heat transfer in biological systems, providing an understanding of transport processes and biofluid mechanics strategies for disease diagnosis and therapy. This book also includes a chapter on the working principles of commonly used medical devices, which makes it a complete guide for engineering students . . . I believe this book will enhance a proper understanding of biofluid and bioheat transport in various organ systems in our body and provide a fundamental base for students and researchers to develop new methods and technologies to tackle diseases.” —From Foreword by Ramjee Repaka, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering; Associate faculty, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, Punjab, India Biofluid mechanics is a branch of science that deals with fluid mechanics in living organisms. Progress in biofluid mechanics has led to extraordinary advancements in biology, including the development of the artificial hearts, heart valves, stents, and more. This new and expanded edition of Biofluid Dynamics of Human Body Systems is a comprehensive guide on the physical and chemical properties of fluids in the human body.
