in this study the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity of non-newtonian fluids are investigated. these fluids find many applications in chemical, medical and food industries. they mostly have viscoelastic behavior and generally differ from newtonian fluids. two non-newtonian fluids, solutions of xanthan and carboxy methyl cellulose in water with various concentrations have bee...

Modeling of thermal-induced mechanical behaviors of soft tissues is of great importance for thermal ablation. This paper presents a method by integrating the heating process with thermal-induced mechanical deformations of soft tissues for simulation and analysis of the thermal ablation process. This method combines bio-heat transfer theories, constitutive elastic material law under thermal load...
