Post by: prakash on Mar 25, 2015
An artery that has been exposed to a lifetime of unhealthy food is slowly building up atherosclerotic plaque. If the vessel diameter is 0.8 mm, and the blood flow rate through the vessel is 7 mL/sec, and the plaque is building up uniformly on the wall of the vessel,
a) Calculate how thick the plaque needs to be change the velocity of blood flowing through the vessel by 30%. Would the velocity decrease or increase?
