Abstract

An analytical solution is obtained to the one-dimensional bio-heat equation in Cartesian coordinates. This solution is compared with experimental values obtained inside the quadriceps of exercising human subjects. Blood perfusion and metabolic heat generation rates, and skin surface heat fluxes, are estimated by a least-squares fit. Time constants are also estimated by employing the same technique. Agreement between analytically predicted and experimentally measured results appears to be satisfactory in spite of the unknown accuracy of the latter ones.
