Abstract
The human body is a complex structure where the balance of mass and heat transport in
all tissues is necessary for its normal functioning. The stabilities of intracellular and extracellular
fluids are important physiological factors responsible for homoeostasis. To estimate the effects of
thermal stress on the behavior of extracellular fluid concentration in human dermal regions, a mathematical model based on diffusion equation along with appropriate boundary conditions has been
formulated. Atmospheric temperature, evaporation rate, moisture concentration and other factors
affecting the fluid concentration were taken into account. The variational finite element approach
has been employed to solve the model and the results were interpreted graphically.
