Abstract

The paper presents the results of computer simulation of human skin cryodestruction process with regard to thermophysical processes, blood circulation, heat transfer, metabolic processes and phase transition. The physical, mathematical and computer models were built for human skin, on the surface of which there is a cooling element at a temperature of -50 ° C. The distribution of temperature and heat fluxes in human skin was determined in cooling mode. The obtained results make it possible to predict the depth of freezing of the skin and, accordingly, biological tissue at a given temperature effect.
