The following data apply to the steady flow of blood through a long horizontal tube:
tube diameter 3 mm
blood viscosity 0.0035 Ns/m2
blood density 1060 kg/m3
mean velocity 4 cm/s
(a) Is the flow laminar or turbulent?
(b) Calculate, if possible, the shearing stress at the tube wall.
(c) Calculate, if possible, the maximum velocity in the tube.
