: 15 mm water/25 mm beef liver by the pulsed focused nonlinear beam with the average acoustic power of 0.7 W. The measurement data (points) and numerical simulation results (solid lines) at the point of maximum heating (z = 20 mm) for the assumed thermal conductivity of the beef liver varied between 0.48 W/(m·°C) and 0.52 W/(m·°C) with an increment of 0.01 W/(m·°C).
