Question:

The pressure difference, ∆p, across a partial blockage in an artery (called a stenos is) is approximated by the equation ∆= Kv µV/D + Ku (A0/ A1 -1)2 Pv2. Where V is the blood velocity, µ the blood viscosity (FL-2T), p the blood density (ML-3), D the artery diameter, Athe area of the unobstructed artery, And Athe area of the stenos is. Determine the dimensions of the constants Kand Kv. would this equation be valid in any system of units?
