Consider the arterial stenosis from Quiz 3, where growth of an atherosclerotic plaque has caused the diameter of the blood vessel to be reduced by 80%. This region is labeled “B” in the image below. Assume incompressible and steady flow in the vessel. Model all regions of the vessel as a rigid, impermeable conduit.
Provide the solution (in Pa and rounding to the nearest unit)
for the pressure difference between points A and B based upon a
vessel diameter of 6.5 mm and a volumetric flow of 6.6 mL/min at
point A. Let the blood density be 1050 kg/m^3.
