Two vessels are compared as shown belorv. Assuming constant pressure along both the vessels and linear flow pattern, what will be the flow across the vessel 1 compared to vessel 2?

A
2 times
B
4 times
C
8 times
D
16 times
High-Yield Explanation
Answer- C. 8 timesPoiseuille Hagen FormulaF = (PA - PB) x (p /8) x (1/?) x (r4/L)Where,F= flowPA-PB = pressure difference between two ends of the tube? = viscosityr = radius of tubeL = length of tubeBecause flow is equal to pressure difference divided by resistance (R),R = 8?L/pr4
