(I) Calculate the average speed of blood flow in the major arteries of the body, which have a total cross-sectional area of about 2.0 cm2 Use the data of Example 10–12.
The chart provides typical values for blood flow through a coronary artery.
Density (blood)
1060 kg/m³
Viscosity (blood)
0.004 Pa*s
Flow rate
0.8 mL/s
Length (artery)
3 cm
Radius (artery)
0.18 cm
(a) Using Poiseuille's Law, calculate the pressure drop across this artery. (Things to think
about: How does the pressure drop calculated in this part compare to mean arterial
pressure?) Use 1 mL = 10-6 m³.

(c) If the artery forms blockages, the pressure drop might remain the same as above, since
the heart supplies a constant pressure. Assuming the pressure drop in a healthy coronary
artery is the same as calculated in part (a), calculate the flow rate for this artery if the radius
experiences an 7.5% reduction.

Example 10–12 Estimate
Blood flow.
In humans, blood flows from the heart into the aorta, from which it passes into the major arteries, Fig. 10–20 O. These branch into the small arteries
(arterioles), which in turn branch into myriads of tiny capillaries. The blood returns to the heart via the veins. The radius of the aorta is about 1.2 cm, and the
blood passing through it has a speed of about 40 cm/s. A typical capillary has a radius of about 4 x 10-4 cm, and blood flows through it at a speed of about 5 ×
10-4 m/s. Estimate the number of capillaries that are in the body.
