Transient Temperature Distribution in Human Males and Females Body Due to Variation in Perfusion Effect

This paper describes the mathematical model to study transient perfusion effect for temperature distribution in human males and females body. The solution of the mathematical model is presented on the basis of variational finite element method with Crank-Nicolson scheme on one dimension. Dermal region under consideration is divided into five parts: stratum corneum, stratum germinativum, papillary region, reticular region and subcutaneous tissue for the analysis. The Pennes bioheat equation has been used for the study of the model that it incorporates the blood perfusion. The physical and physiological parameters in each layer that affect the heat regulations in human body are taken as a function of position dependent. The loss of heat from the outer surface of body to the environment is taken due to convection, radiation and sweat evaporation. The result shows that steady state temperature of each nodal is slightly higher and is achieved earlier in case of males in comparison to females. The study may be a better understanding for the temperature distribution model in human males and females skin layers due to perfusion.
