The exact analytical solution of the dual-phase-lag two-temperature bioheat transfer of a skin tissue subjected to constant heat flux

Sci Rep. 2020 Sep 29;10(1):15946. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-73086-0.

Abstract

This work is dealing with the temperature reaction and response of skin tissue due to constant surface heat flux. The exact analytical solution has been obtained for the two-temperature dual-phase-lag (TTDPL) of bioheat transfer. We assumed that the skin tissue is subjected to a constant heat flux on the bounding plane of the skin surface. The separation of variables for the governing equations as a finite domain is employed. The transition temperature responses have been obtained and discussed. The results represent that the dual-phase-lag time parameter, heat flux value, and two-temperature parameter have significant effects on the dynamical and conductive temperature increment of the skin tissue. The Two-temperature dual-phase-lag (TTDPL) bioheat transfer model is a successful model to describe the behavior of the thermal wave through the skin tissue.
