Finite Element Analysis and Modeling of Tissue Heating while Killing Tumor
Finite Element Analysis and Modeling of Tissue Heating while Killing Tumor1:
Following model is an example of tissue heating while killing tumor. This model is created by Interactive Heating Transfer 2.0 Software by Frank P. Incropera and David P. DeWitt. The structure of this model was given as an example in the software and was not created by me that models heat transfer to tissue while killing a tumor.
