The heat transfer in skin tissues under the general two-temperature three-phase-lag model of heat conduction with a...

In this paper, a new and more general model of heat conduction that depends on the drift velocity due to thermomass motion assumption will be established and will be applied to the skin tissue. Four different heat conduction models will be incorporated into a unified equation of heat conduction: the Pennes, Vernotte-Cattaneo, dual-phase-lag of Tzou, and the general two-temperature three-phase-lag of Youssef. The governing partial differential equations of the general two-temperature three-phase-lag model of bioheat conduction will be implemented and solved directly in the domain of the Laplace transformation. The numerical solutions of the Laplace transform will be calculated by executing the Tzou iteration formula. The ramp-type heat on the surface of the skin tissue will be considered as thermal loading. The conductive and dynamic temperature increment reactions have been studied and discussed with different values of ramp-time heat, characteristic length, and drift velocity parameters. The novelty of this work is to introduce some comparisons of the four under-studied bioheat conduction models and show the differences between them in the figures. The numerical results show that the ramp-time heat, drift velocity, and characteristic length parameters have major impacts on the increment of both dynamical and conductive temperature distributions.
