A catheter is to be coated by a nonthrombogenic film. A schema of the manufacturing setup is shown in Fig. 9.30. Assume that the flow is steady, laminar, and fully developed in the section L and that the coating fluid is Newtonian. Find the volumetric flow rate Q of the fluid through this section. Assuming the coating (film) thickness d is uniform, find an expression for d.
