Problem 33PE
A small artery has a length of 1.1×10−3 m and a radius of 2.5×10−5 m. If the pressure drop across the artery is 1.3 kPa, what is the flow rate through the artery? (Assume that the temperature is 37º C .)
ANSWER:
Solution 33PE
Step 1 of 3
We need to determine the flow rate through the artery, which is of small length and a radius . When the pressure drop across the small artery is .
Given data,
- Length
- Radius
- Pressure drop,
Using
Using
- Fluid viscosity,
To find
Rate of flow,
