The flow rate of blood through a 2.25 ✕ 10−6 m radius capillary is 3.80 ✕ 10−9 cm3/s. (a) What is the speed of the blood flow (in cm/s)? (This small velocity allows time for diffusion of materials to and from the blood.) (b) Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 80.0 cm3/s? (The large number obtained is an overestimate, but it is still reasonable.)

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient's artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is P₁, while in the region of blockage it is P2. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at v₁, and the density of this patient's blood is p. The patient is laying down so there are no differential effects due to gravity. a. Symbolically, what is the ratio of the artery radius at the blockage, r2, to the ratio of the artery radius at the blockage, r₁? (find r₂/r₁) b. Find the numerical value of r2/r1. P₁ = 1.20x104 Pa, P₂=1.15×104 Pa, v₁ =30.0 cm/s, p = 1060 kg/m³.
A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 53.5 cm and the flow speed of the petroleum is 13.1 m/s. At the refinery, the petroleum flows at 5.25 m/s. What is the volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe, and what is the pipe's diameter at the refinery? volume flow rate: m³/s diameter: cm

As a person breathes, during the inhale part of the cycle air moves down the windpipe (bronchus) and through a constriction where the air speed doubles. If the air is traveling 13 cm/s before the constriction and we treat air as an incompressible fluid, determine the pressure drop in the constriction. Use the density of air as 1.29 kg/m³. Pa
