Heat Transport in Nanofluids and Biological Tissues, 1st ed. 2019 Springer Theses Series

Jing Fan?s PhD research addresses the theoretical modeling and numerical computation of transport in multiphase and multiscale systems. This research explores developing a comprehensive analytical theory of bioheat transfer. Her thesis also contains two critical reviews on heat transport in nanofluids and bioheat  transfer. Therefore, this thesis provides an invaluable resource for any scientist or engineer who is interested in these fields, and is especially accessible to newcomers.
