Question:

(a) Determine the volumetric flow rate of blood in the artery of Problem P6.15.

(b) Calculate the maximum velocity of blood across the artery’s cross section.

(c) Determine the amount by which the blood pressure decreases along each 10-cm length of the artery.


Problem P6.15

The average velocity of blood flowing in a certain 4-mm-diameter artery in the human body is 0.28 m/s. Calculate the Reynolds number and determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. The viscosity and density of blood are approximately 4 cP and 1.06 Mg/m3, respectively.
