ABSTRACT
To begin our study of transport phenomena in biomedical engineering, we must ˜rst examine the physical properties of the ¢uids within the human body. Many of our engineering calculations and the development and design of new procedures, devices, and treatments will either involve or affect the ¢uids within the human body. Therefore, we will focus our initial attention on the types and characteristics of the ¢uids that reside within the body.
