When Goyal began suffering a number of health problems some decades ago, his investigation found the same principles of fluid mechanics he had long taught students at work in his own body. That discovery led to this textbook and reference for graduate and undergraduate students of biomedical engineering, biotechnology, nanotechnology, nursing, and medicine and health sciences. Looking only at continuous flows within the human body, he considers such aspects as physical and chemical properties of fluids, bioheat transfer, biomass transfer, biofluid dynamics of body systems, the kinetics of drug delivery, and instrumentation and the measurement of human body fluids.

An easy-to-understand, one-stop manual on the fluid mechanics of human body systems, this book offers basic knowledge and techniques necessary to understand, design, develop, and evaluate a medical device. It includes the basic principles and applications, types and mechanics, flow dynamics through twelve human body systems. It covers the biofluid dynamics of the respiratory system, the brain, the urinary system, the digestive system, and the maternal fetal system; explains how drugs are transported through the human body; and provides information on instrumentation and measurements of body fluids.
