A transmission line matrix (TLM) study of hyperbolic heat conduction in biological materials

Reliable information on the heat transfer mode inside biological materials is essential for optimising food treatments and living tissues applications. The objective of this paper is to presents a transmission line matrix (TLM) solution to account for the heat wave propagation in such biological materials. A good agreement is found between the TLM results and analytical or experimental ones.
