A Blood Vessel Is Depicted In Figure 1 Where The Main Vessel Branch 1 Splits Into Branches 2 And 3 Branch 1 Has Blood 1 (53.15 KiB) Viewed 54 times

A blood vessel is depicted in Figure 1, where the main vessel, branch 1 splits into branches 2 and 3. Branch 1 has blood flowing at 4.5 L/min at a pressure of 140 mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 133.3 Pa). Branch 2 has a blood flow rate of 2.0 L/min. You can assume that the blood vessels are rigid, the flow is frictionless, and that the vessel lies in a plane perpendicular to gravity. (a) What is the blood pressure in branch 2 and 3? (b) What is the force generated at the carina by the blood? (You may use Pblood =1060 kg/m3) Branch 1 D = 1 cm Q. = 4.5 L/min P = 140 mm Hg 45° 60° carina Branch 2 D= 5 mm Q, = 2 L/min Branch 3 D3 = 3 mm Q, = ???
