If the diameter of the abdominal aorta is 15.5 mm, the flow rate is 1L/min and the diameter of the iliac arteries (which bifurcate at the end of the aorta) is 75% of the aortic diameter, calculate, stating any assumptions you make:
the pressure gradient in the abdominal aorta; [3]
the pressure gradient in the iliac arteries; [3]
the fractional change in pressure gradient across the bifurcation. [5]
How do you find pressure gradient? whats the units? whats the direction of the gradient? very confused.
