Question
What is Poiseuille’s equation
Solution
Poiseuille studied the rate of flow of a liquid throught a horizontal capillary tube.
He stated that the volume (V) of liquid flowing per second through a capillary tube varies,
i) directly as the pressure difference (p) across the two ends of the tube,
ii) directly as the fourth power of the radius of the tube,
iii) inversely as the length of the tube,
iv) inversely as the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid.
That is,
