 A parallel plate device is being designed to study platelet adhesion.

A parallel plate device is being designed to study platelet adhesion. The channel is 2.5cm in width. Determine the range of chamber heights that can be used to generate wall shear stresses up to 30 dyne/ cm2 with volumetric flow rates (Q) less than or equal to 3cm3/s. The platelets are suspended in plasma and the viscosity is 1.2 centi-poise. For this problem, you do not have to re-derive the velocity and shear stress profiles that were done in the class example: pressure driven flow in a rectangular channel
