Question
In deriving Bernoulli’s equation, we equated the work done on the fluid in the tube to its change in the potential and kinetic energy. (a) What is the largest average velocity of blood flow in an artery of diameter 2 × 10–3 m if the flow must remain laminar? (b) Do the dissipative forces become more important as the fluid velocity increases? Discuss qualitatively.

Solution 1
a) 1.966 m/s
Diameter of the artery, d = 2 × 10–3 m
Viscosity of blood, `eta = 2.084 xx 10^(-3)` Pas
Density of blood, ρ = 1.06 × 103 kg/m3
Reynolds’ number for laminar flow, NR = 2000
The largest average velocity of blood is given as:
`V_"arg" = (N_Reta)/rhod`
`= (2000xx2.084xx 10^(-3))/(1.06xx10^3xx2xx10^(-3))`
= 1.966 m/s
Therefore, the largest average velocity of blood is 1.966 m/s.
b)Yes
As the fluid velocity increases, the dissipative forces become more important. This is because of the rise of turbulence. Turbulent flow causes dissipative loss in a fluid.
Solution 2
(a) If dissipative forces are present, then some forces in liquid flow due to pressure difference is spent against dissipative forces, due to which the pressure drop becomes large.
(b) The dissipative forces become more important with increasing flow velocity, because of turbulence.
