Viscous fluid flow

Blood flow through capillaries Your heart pumps blood at a flow rate of about 80 cm3>s. The blood flows through approximately 9 X 109 capillaries, each of radius 4 X 10-4 cm and 0.1 cm long. Determine the viscous friction pressure drop across a capillary, assuming a blood viscosity of 4 X 10-3 N . s/m2.
