The results of computer simulation of the temperature effect on biological tissue with oncologic neoplasms in cooling, heating modes, as well as their cyclic change are presented. A physical, mathematical, and computer model of biological tissue with oncologic neoplasms is constructed, with regard to thermophysical processes, blood circulation, heat exchange, metabolic processes, and phase transition. The change in temperature distributions over time in biological tissue with an oncologic neoplasm and a working tool depending on the geometry of the working tool and its temperature is studied. Computer optimization of the working tool is carried out and the design of a thermoelectric device for the destruction of oncologic neoplasms is developed.
