Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

In a major human artery with an internal diameter of 5 mm, the flow of blood, averaged over the cardiac cycle, is $5 cm^{3}·s^{−1}$ . The artery bifurcates (splits) into two identical blood vessels that are each 3 mm in diameter. What are the average velocity and the mass flow rate upstream and downstream of the bifurcation? The density of blood is $1.06 g·cm^{−3}.$
