1.2.15 WP The pressure difference, ?p, across a partial blockage in an artery (called a stenosis) is approximated by the equation ?p=Kv?D?V?+Ku?(A1?A0???1)2?V2 where V is the blood velocity, ? the blood viscosity (FL?2T),? the blood density (ML?3),D the artery diameter, A0? the area of the unobstructed arterv. and A, the area of the stenosis. Determine the dimensions of the constants Kv? and Ku?. Would this equation be valid in any system of units?
