Question:
The pressure difference, ∆p, across a partial blockage in an artery (called a stenos is) is approximated by the equation ∆p = Kv µV/D + Ku (A0/ A1 -1)2 Pv2. Where V is the blood velocity, µ the blood viscosity (FL-2T), p the blood density (ML-3), D the artery diameter, A0 the area of the unobstructed artery, And A1 the area of the stenos is. Determine the dimensions of the constants Ku and Kv. would this equation be valid in any system of units?
