Question

A section of an artery has been narrowed down by atherosclerotic plaque to a crosssectional area of 0.33 of its normal area. Given that the velocity of blood in the normal section just prior to the restriction is 0.15 m/s, calculate the change in pressure as blood enters the narrowed section. State any assumptions in your calculation. Density of blood 1025 kg m^(-3 ) • Viscosity of blood eta = 4 imes 10^(-3) Ns m^(-2) .
