Abstract: | Galerkin's finite element-Laplace transform technique (GAFELTTE) has been used to study transient temperature distribution
in human skin and subcutaneous tissues. This study incorporates heat conduction, heat carried by perfusion of blood in the
capillary beds and metabolic heat generation in the tissues. Different values of various quantities have been considered in
all three parts, namely epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissues, depending on physiological considerations. The GAFELTTE
provides interface temperatures for a wide range of the values of skin surface temperatures. These values have been used to
obtain temperature profiles in the region considered. Steady-state temperature distribution has been deduced from the solution
obtained by GAFELTTE and has been compared with the results obtained by using different methods. |
