Uncertainty Analysis in Induction Heating by Magnetic Micro/nanoparticles during Hyperthermia

There is always a difference between the numerical, theoretical and experimental values of a physical quantity which is due to measurement errors. Electromagnetic hyperthermia using micro/nano particles is not an exceptional case. This deviation could affect the temperature distribution of domain. In this paper, the deviation of any effective parameter on temperature distribution, including concentration, injection area and radius of micro/nano particles, power and frequency of electromagnetic field are studied and uncertainty analysis is performed. The study was based on the induction heating by micro/nano particles in an electromagnetic field hyperthermia. The finite difference method was used to solve the equations numerically. Results show that the measurement of parameters such as electromagnetic field power, radius of micro/nano injection region should be done accurately.
