You will need Pouiseuille's equation to work this problem. RR (P-P) Sne Cardiac perfusion pressure is what drives blood flow through the heart muscle. It is due to the difference in aortic diastolic blood pressure (DAP) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP). A common DAP is 80 mm Hg which converts to 1.1x10 Pa; a common LVEDP is 8 mm Hg which converts to 1.1x10' Pa. The viscosity of whole blood is 4x10 Pa-s and assume that it is incompressible and undergoing laminar flow through the artery. Common dimensions for one of the large coronary arteries is a radius of 2 mm and a length of 9 cm. For this size artery, what is the flood flow? de ait of air is 1.29 A) 2.7x10 m/s B) 5.7x10 m/s C) 8.7x10 m/s D) 1.7x10 m/s E) 4.7x10 m/s
