 Using the equation for time averaged flow rate during peristalsis, given

Using the equation for time averaged flow rate during peristalsis, given below, derive an expression for the case of (i) fully occluded flow (ii) no peristalsis Q=8a4P(1+232)(12)27+a2c1+2324(11612) where a is the mean radius, =b/a,b is the peristalsis amplitude, c is the wave speed, is the viscosity, is the wavelength, and P is the pressure drop over one wavelength
