Question: The pressure difference, AP, across a partial blockage in an artery is approximated by the equation = + Ku D Ao - 1) ev
The pressure difference, AP, across a partial blockage in an artery is approximated by the equation = + Ku D Ao - 1) ev where V is the blood velocity, the blood viscosity, p the blood density, D the artery diameter, Ao the area of the unobstructed artery, and A the area of the stenosis. Determine the dimensions of the constant K, and Ku. Would this equation be valid in any system of units?
