Problem 3: Murray's law
3a: Using velocity profile for fully developed flow through a cylinder driven by a pressure gradient. Define the maximum velocity, flow rate, resistance, and wall shear stress. In relation to Murray's law, show how the shear stress remains constant when a large blood vessel bifurcates into 2 smaller ones of equal radius.
3b: Calculate: wall shear rate, wall shear stress, and vascular resistance for the following (assume viscosity =0.03 poise)
\table[[Blood Vessel,Diameter ( cm ),\table[[Blood],[Velocity],[(average)],[(cmsec)]],\table[[Wall Shear],[Rate]],\table[[Apparent],[Viscosity],[(poise)]],Wall Shear stress,\table[[Vascular],[Resistance /],[dyn:s-cm^-5)]]],[Aorta,1,50,,,,],[Large Arteries,0.3,13,,,,],[,0.3,19,,,,],[,0.34,23,,,,],[Small arteries,0.1,8,,,,],[Terminal Branches,0.06,6,,,,],[Arteriole,0.002,0.3,,,,]]
3c: Plot shear stress versus diameter
