Question:
Determine the velocity profile within a 12-μm-diameter capillary that has a red blood cell (8 μm diameter) flowing down the centerline of the blood vessel. Assume that the centerline velocity is 10 mm/s, that the pressure gradient is 25 mmHg/500 μm, and that the viscosity is 4 cP. The capillary is vertical, so gravitational effects cannot be ignored. Also, assume that the entire red blood cell flows with the same velocity and that the density of blood is 1050 kg/m3.
