all of the following affect flow volume except
flow direction
which of the following varies directly with flow volume?
-pressure gradient
-tube length
-fluid viscosity
-fluid direction
pressure gradient
according to poiseuille’s law, which of the following varies directly with flow volume?
-tube diameter
-tube length
-fluid viscosity
-fluid direction
tube length
According to poiseuille’s law, which of the following varies inversely with flow volume?
-pressure gradient
-tube diameter
-tube length
-fluid direction
tube length.
According to poiseuille’s law, which of the following varies inversely. with flow volume?
-pressure gradient
-tube diameter
-fluid viscosity
-fluid direction
fluid viscosity
As the pressure gradient increases, flow volume
increases
as tube diameter increases, flow volume
increases
As fluid viscosity increases, flow volume
decreases
According to poiseuille’s law, which of the following has the greatest effect on flow volume?
tube diameter
All of the following will increase overall flow resistance in a tube except
-decrease tube radius
-increase fluid viscosity
-increase tube length
-change in flow direction
change in flow direction
Which of the following will have the greatest effect on overall flow resistance?
tube radius
flow in which fluid layers slide over each other in a smooth, orderly manner is
laminar
laminar flow is considered
normal
the type of flow where all velocities are equal at all radical distances from the center of the tube is
inlet
inlet flow is also called
plug
the type of flow where the fluid particles move smoothly and are parallel to one another is
laminar
the type of flow that may develop at an area of stenosis or vessel bifurcation is
disturbed
all of the following are types of laminar flow except
turbulent
the type of flow present when fluid particles move in multiple directions and velocities is
turbulent
turbulent flow is considered
abnormal
