Hi,
Thanks for the reply from all of you. Really helpful.
Sorry for the short discreption. For this project, we are mimicking the blood flowing in a tube, so the velocity is low, we use a pump to push the blood mimicking fluid flow into a tube(4mm). So the flow rate is as low as our blood.
Blood flow rate through each carotid artery = 350 ml/min (Kandel et al., Principles of Neural Science, New York: McGraw Hill, 2000)
Blood flow rate through basilar artery = 100-200 ml/min (Kandel et al., 2000)
For the velocity, should between ?1/6)m/s to (1/2)m/s.
I will measure the fluid property during its steady state, so I pump it from 1 pot to another pot.
Thanks.
Tony
