Abstract
Bio-heat transfer deals with the heat transfer in the biological bodies. Human skin burn can be analyzed using the Pennes bio-heat equation which has been adopted in many commercial finite element software. Human skin burn also known as thermal burn can result from direct contact with heated object such as a hot disk, hot fluid or being exposed to radiation. Depending upon the condition and duration of exposure thermal burn may cause severe skin damage. In this paper, the three dimensional Finite Element (FE) models of human skin is developed. The burn effect on human skin under the contact with hot object or hot fluid has been analyzed. The radiation effect of a hot object on the skin burn has also been analyzed. The commercial numerical software COMSOL Multiphysics® is used for the purpose. The burn intensity in terms of degree of burn is measured with different burning conditions. The results from this analysis can be used in treatment of burn injuries.
