Question: d . Before we get to the new model, let's think about what factors would increase or decrease the pressure gradient needed to move viscous

d. Before we get to the new model, let's think about what factors would increase or decrease the pressure gradient needed to move viscous fluid in a pipe (think about drinking a viscous fluid through a straw and what would make it harder or easier to drink). A larger required pressure gradient would mean you have to suck harder ()
i. Increase viscosity of fluid will increase/decrease/not change the pressure gradient needed to maintain flow
ii. Increase length of pipe wil increase/decrease/not change the pressure gradient needed to maintain flow
iii. Increase flow rate (volume/time) willincreaseydecrease/not change the pressure gradient needed to maintain flow
iv. Increase radius of straw will increase decrease/not change the pressure gradient needed to maintain flow
d . Before we get to the new model, let's think
