Introduction
In the life process, especially in those of more highly developed organisms, the circulation of various fluids and mass is of prominent importance. Circulations of various fluids and mass Transport Process
convection
mechanism of transport resulting from the bulk motion of fluid
radiation
mechanism of transport without medium
Ideal fluid frictionless, this mean that the flow velocity is the same at every point of the tube If fluid volume elements: V = q.S flows through a tube of length S and cross-section q during time t, from, the currnet intensity can be rewrited:
S Iq qv t
Real fluid friction full, so the velocity differs at individual points of a given cross-section. It is custom to work with the mean velocity belonging to the given cross section
I v q
If the characteristics quantities of the current (velocity, current intensity, pressure) are time independent, and most vary from place to place, this is called stationary
Bernoullis Law
Pressure distribution of ideal fluids undergoing stationary flow through tubes of different cross-section
1 2 p v constant 2
the dynamic pressure the static pressure
If the tube is not horizontal, the change in the potential energy due to gravity must also be considered. We have:
1 2 p v gh constant 2
What it is tell us ??
Internal friction force is proportional to the relative velocity (v) of the body : Ff ~ n The friction force depend upon: the body and the nature of medium. In the case of sphere (bola), form factor rradius sphere, the nature of the medium expressed by 6p. Consequently: Ff = 6prv; (Stokes Law)
The factor is the internal friction coefficient or simply viscosity. Unit : Pa.s The viscosity of an easily flowing fluid is small, whereas viscous fluids have high viscosities.
In the case of motion at constant velocity, the driving force Fd is proportional to the velocity. v = Fd Coefficient = mobility The value of gives the mean velocity of colloidal particle or macromolecule moved in some medium by unit driving force

Poiseuille Law
In the case of smooth flow (laminar flow), the volume flow rate is given by the pressure difference divided by the viscous resistance.
Resistance to flow
Poiseuille law agree with experiment for uniform fluid (newtonian fluid). This mean there is no turbulence
Poiseuille not appropriate if the velocity fluid is high so there will make turbulent
There is no simple mathematical form for turbulence
The beginning of turbulence when the Reynolds number higher than 2000

Blood Flow
Occlusion
Occlusion mean: a term indicating that the state of something, which is normally open, is now totally closed. In medicine, the term is often used to refer to blood vessels, arteries or veins which have become totally blocked to any blood flow
Not realize to double pressure till 600 mmHg But the body has a much more potent method for increasing volume flow rate in the vasodilation of the small vessels called arterioles
Assuming a nominal blood volume flowrate of 5 liters/min and a radius of 0.9 cm for the aorta
But when the velocity profile for tube flow is taken into account, it is found that the maximum velocity of flow is twice the effective value, so a velocity of 66 cm/s would be expected to produce turbulence in the center of the aorta.
