...Liqiu Wang; Jing Fan Macroscale thermal models have been developed for biological tissues either by the mixture theory of continuum mechanics or by the porous-media theory. The former uses scaling-down from the global scale; the latter applies scaling-up from the microscale by the volume averaging...

...Z. Magalov; A. Shitzer; D. Degani One, two, and three needle cryoprobes, 1.47 mm outside diameter, simultaneously and uniformly operated by high pressure argon gas, were tested in a gel simulating the thermal properties of biological tissues. The probes were inserted into the same depth in the gel...

...Ramachandra V. Devireddy; David J. Smith; John C. Bischof A numerical model incorporating the microscale heat and mass transport in biological tissue during freezing is developed. The heat transfer problem is formulated in a general one-dimensional coordinate system (cartesian, cylindrical...
