Using Poisuille’s Law, calculate the flow rate in an artery of diameter 0.8 cm, length of 4 cm, with the coefficient of blood viscosity is 4*10-3 Pa-s at normal blood pressure of 120 mm-Hg. (6 points) How does this flow rate change upon a 20% occlusion of the artery? (4 points) What is usually the compensation process to hold the flow rate steady? (2 points)

3. 1/2 points | Previous Answers My Notes Smoking tobacco is bad for your circulatory health. In an attempt to maintain the blood's capacity to deliver oxygen, the body increases its red blood cell production, and this increases the viscosity of the blood. In addition, nicotine from tobacco causes arteries to constrict. (a) For a nonsmoker, with blood viscosity of 2.50 x 103 Pa s, normal blood flow requires a pressure difference of 8 mm Hg between the two ends...
65. The pressure drop along a length of artery is 100 Pa, the radius is 10 mm, and the flow is laminar. The average speed of the blood is 15 mm/s. (a) What is the net force on the blood in this section of artery? (b) What is the power expended maintaining the flow? 66. A small artery has a length of and a radius of . If the pressure drop across the artery'is 1.3 kPa, what's the flow rate...
64. A glucose solution being administered with an IV has a flow rate of. What will the new flow rate be if the glucose ist.Peshaced by whole blood having the same density but a viscosity 2.50 times that of the glucose? All other factors remain constant. 65. The pressure drop along a length of artery is 100 Pa, the radius is 10 mm, and the flow is laminar. The average speed of the blood is 15 mm/s. (a) What is...
A hypodermic needle is 3.10 cm in length and 0.39 mm in diameter. What pressure difference between the input and output of the needle is required so that the flow rate of water through it will be 1 g/s? (Use 1.0 ✕ 10−3 Pa · s as the viscosity of water.)
A small artery has a length of 1.05 times 10^-3 m and a radius of 2.7 times 10^-5 m. A If the pressure drop across the artery is 1.4 kPa, what is the flow rate through the artery in mm^3/s? (Assume that the temperature is 37 degree C, and the viscosity of blood at that temperature is 2.084 times 10^-3 N-s/m^2).
Please provide a clear solution for the above example. The
correct answer is provided.
Blood Flow in an Artery (20%) Blood (assume μ-4.5 × 10-5 lbs ft-2, SG-1.0) flows through an artery in the neck of a giraffe from its heart to its head at a rate of 2.5 × 10-4 ft3 s-1 as illustrated in Figure 2. Assume the length of the artery is 10 feet with a constant diameter of 0.20 inches. If the pressure at the beginning...
Plaque builds up on the walls of an artery decreasing its diameter from 1.16 cm to 0.70 cm. If the flow speed is 14.5 cm/s before reaching the region of plaque buildup, determine the following. (a) speed at which blood is traveling through the plaque-constricted region cm/s (b) pressure change within the plaque-constricted region. (Assume the density of blood is 1050 kg/m3. Be sure to include the appropriate sign with your answer.) Pa
Consider a 200 mm internal diameter pipe with a length of 1000 m, a Hazen-Williams flow coefficient of 120 and a flow rate of 50 L/s. Assume the kinematic viscosity of water to be 1.14 mm2/s. Calculate the frictional head loss in the pipe.
Blood flows through a 100 μm diameter glass tube that is 0.1 cm in length. Estimate the volumetric flow rate of the blood in cm3 h−1 if the pressure difference over the length of the tube is 6000 Pa.
In hemodynamics, blood flow through the cardiovascular system
can be modeled as an electric circuit in which the blood serves as
electricity, the blood vessels as resistive wires, and the heart as
a battery (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Cardiovascular circuit model
Ohm’s law states that the voltage drop ΔV across each element,
the current I flowing through it, and its electrical
resistance R are related by ΔV = IR. In a blood vessel, pressure
difference between one vessel and...
