An artery has an inner radius of 2.0 x 10^-3 m. If the temperature is 37 degrees Celsius (Celsius scale), the average velocity of the blood is 0.030 m/s and the flow is laminar. Find (a) the maximum velocity.
Added by Christopher R.
Step 1
We are given the inner radius of the artery (r = 2.0 x 10^-3 m), the average velocity of the blood (v_avg = 0.030 m/s), and the fact that the flow is laminar. Show more…

What is the largest average velocity of blood flow in an artery of radius 2*10^-3 m. If the flow must remain laminar. Given viscosity of blood = 2.084*10^-3 Pa , density of blood =1.06*10^3 kg/m^3 and Reynolds number for laminar flow= 2000

Flow of Blood in an Artery The velocity (in centimeters per second) of blood $r \mathrm{~cm}$ from the central axis of an artery is given by $v(r)=k\left(R^{2}-r^{2}\right)$, where $k$ is a constant and $R$ is the radius of the artery. Suppose that $k=1000$ and $R=0.2$. Find the average velocity of the blood across a cross section of the artery.
