1) Blood flows through an artery of 8 mm diameter at 120 mL/min. Assume that blood flow is Newtonian. Answer the following questions. a) What is the average velocity of blood? b) What is the velocity of blood 2 mm from the side-walls of the artery (when r=2 mm)? c) What is the pressure drop of blood per unit length of the artery? d) What is the wall shear stress of the artery? 1) Blood flows through an artery of 8 mm diameter at 120 mL/min.
