The branching of a blood vessel is shown in Fig. B.8. Blood at a pressure of 18.5 kPa flows in the main vessel at 4.5 L/min. Determine the blood pressure in each branch, assuming that blood vessels behave as rigid tubes, the flow is frictionless, and that the vessel lies in a horizontal plane. You may approximate blood to have a SG of 1.06.
