Influence of Electromagnetic Waves on the Temperature Field of Frozen Biological Objects in Arctic Conditions

Today, it can be considered established that the thermal scheme of the human body consists of a "core", which includes the brain, internal organs of the chest and abdominal cavities, and a "shell" consisting of skin, hypodermic matrices, and superficial muscles. The goal of the w...

Summary:Today, it can be considered established that the thermal scheme of the human body consists of a "core", which includes the brain, internal organs of the chest and abdominal cavities, and a "shell" consisting of skin, hypodermic matrices, and superficial muscles. The goal of the work is to design a device for slow noncontact defrosting of a limb that has received a cold injury and previously was thermally insulated from the external environment. Measurements were made of the temperature of the muscle tissue of a biological object frostbitten under experimental conditions that was previously placed in a heat-insulating material with subsequent noncontact heating with low-power microwaves. Since the heat-insulating material is ratio transparent for the microwave range, the heating effect will act directly on the sample under study.
