Biofluid Dynamics of Human Body Systems

by Megh R Goyal

Overview

An easy-to-understand, one-stop manual on the fluid mechanics of human body systems, this book offers basic knowledge and techniques necessary to understand, design, develop, and evaluate a medical device. It includes the basic principles and applications, types and mechanics, flow dynamics through twelve human body systems. It covers the biofluid dynamics of the respiratory system, the brain, the urinary system, the digestive system, and the maternal fetal system; explains how drugs are transported through the human body; and provides information on instrumentation and measurements of body fluids.

Editorial Reviews

"A fascinating and complete manual on how human body fluids move to carry necessary nutrients and chemical agents to each cell. Our body is a marvelous living robot that will not survive for more than three days without water. Dr. Goyal, a master on fluid dynamics, has applied principles of engineering mechanics to human body fluids in simple, understandable language."
—Miguel A. Munoz Munoz, President, University of Puerto Rico, USA

"This innovative book will not only aid the student community but also researchers who are eagerly awaiting such a manual. Dr. Goyal’s vast experience in this area is greatly reflected in the book’s chapters."
—Saravana Kumar Jaganathan, Professor and Dean of Research, Department of Biomedical Engineering, PSNA College of Engineering and Technology, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, India
