Beschreibung
This concise textbook provides a consistent presentation of basic concepts and approaches within Biomedical Engineering that are needed in biofluid and biosolid mechanics, biomass and bioheat transfer, and biothermodynamics, thus rendering this book an ideal foundation for diverse advanced courses while encouraging critical thinking. All derivations and applications are illustrated in one-spatial dimension, thus avoiding complexities associated with vector and tensor analysis while emphasizing the basics. Each chapter includes observations and examples and is followed by exercises to aid student comprehension. This textbook is intended for undergraduate students in biomedical engineering as well as a unifying refresher for graduate students or a broad introduction for life science and mathematics students.
