Английская Википедия:Hagen–Poiseuille equation
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Continuum mechanics In nonideal fluid dynamics, the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, also known as the Hagen–Poiseuille law, Poiseuille law or Poiseuille equation, is a physical law that gives the pressure drop in an incompressible and Newtonian fluid in laminar flow flowing through a long cylindrical pipe of constant cross section. It can be successfully applied to air flow in lung alveoli, or the flow through a drinking straw or through a hypodermic needle. It was experimentally derived independently by Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille in 1838[1] and Gotthilf Heinrich Ludwig Hagen,[2] and published by Poiseuille in 1840–41 and 1846.[1] The theoretical justification of the Poiseuille law was given by George Stokes in 1845.[3]
The assumptions of the equation are that the fluid is incompressible and Newtonian; the flow is laminar through a pipe of constant circular cross-section that is substantially longer than its diameter; and there is no acceleration of fluid in the pipe. For velocities and pipe diameters above a threshold, actual fluid flow is not laminar but turbulent, leading to larger pressure drops than calculated by the Hagen–Poiseuille equation.
Poiseuille's equation describes the pressure drop due to the viscosity of the fluid; other types of pressure drops may still occur in a fluid (see a demonstration here).[4] For example, the pressure needed to drive a viscous fluid up against gravity would contain both that as needed in Poiseuille's law plus that as needed in Bernoulli's equation, such that any point in the flow would have a pressure greater than zero (otherwise no flow would happen).
Another example is when blood flows into a narrower constriction, its speed will be greater than in a larger diameter (due to continuity of volumetric flow rate), and its pressure will be lower than in a larger diameter[4] (due to Bernoulli's equation). However, the viscosity of blood will cause additional pressure drop along the direction of flow, which is proportional to length traveled[4] (as per Poiseuille's law). Both effects contribute to the actual pressure drop.
Equation
In standard fluid-kinetics notation:[5][6][7]
- <math> \Delta p = \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi R^4} = \frac{8 \pi \mu L Q}{A^2}, </math>
where
- Шаблон:Math is the pressure difference between the two ends,
- Шаблон:Mvar is the length of pipe,
- Шаблон:Mvar is the dynamic viscosity,
- Шаблон:Mvar is the volumetric flow rate,
- Шаблон:Mvar is the pipe radius,
- Шаблон:Mvar is the cross-sectional area of pipe.
The equation does not hold close to the pipe entrance.[8]Шаблон:Rp
The equation fails in the limit of low viscosity, wide and/or short pipe. Low viscosity or a wide pipe may result in turbulent flow, making it necessary to use more complex models, such as the Darcy–Weisbach equation. The ratio of length to radius of a pipe should be greater than 1/48 of the Reynolds number for the Hagen–Poiseuille law to be valid.[9] If the pipe is too short, the Hagen–Poiseuille equation may result in unphysically high flow rates; the flow is bounded by Bernoulli's principle, under less restrictive conditions, by
- <math>\begin{align}
\Delta p = \frac{1}{2} \rho \overline{v}_\text{max}^2 &= \frac{1}{2} \rho \left(\frac{Q_\text{max}}{\pi R^2}\right)^2 \\ \Rightarrow \quad Q_\max{} &= \pi R^2 \sqrt\frac{2 \Delta p}{\rho}, \end{align}</math>
because it is impossible to have negative (absolute) pressure (not to be confused with gauge pressure) in an incompressible flow.
Relation to the Darcy–Weisbach equation
Normally, Hagen–Poiseuille flow implies not just the relation for the pressure drop, above, but also the full solution for the laminar flow profile, which is parabolic. However, the result for the pressure drop can be extended to turbulent flow by inferring an effective turbulent viscosity in the case of turbulent flow, even though the flow profile in turbulent flow is strictly speaking not actually parabolic. In both cases, laminar or turbulent, the pressure drop is related to the stress at the wall, which determines the so-called friction factor. The wall stress can be determined phenomenologically by the Darcy–Weisbach equation in the field of hydraulics, given a relationship for the friction factor in terms of the Reynolds number. In the case of laminar flow, for a circular cross section:
- <math> \Lambda = \frac{64}{\mathrm{Re}}, \quad \mathrm{Re} = \frac{\rho v d}{\mu}, </math>
where Шаблон:Math is the Reynolds number, Шаблон:Mvar is the fluid density, and Шаблон:Mvar is the mean flow velocity, which is half the maximal flow velocity in the case of laminar flow. It proves more useful to define the Reynolds number in terms of the mean flow velocity because this quantity remains well defined even in the case of turbulent flow, whereas the maximal flow velocity may not be, or in any case, it may be difficult to infer. In this form the law approximates the Darcy friction factor, the energy (head) loss factor, friction loss factor or Darcy (friction) factor Шаблон:Mvar in the laminar flow at very low velocities in cylindrical tube. The theoretical derivation of a slightly different form of the law was made independently by Wiedman in 1856 and Neumann and E. Hagenbach in 1858 (1859, 1860). Hagenbach was the first who called this law Poiseuille's law.
The law is also very important in hemorheology and hemodynamics, both fields of physiology.[10]
Poiseuille's law was later in 1891 extended to turbulent flow by L. R. Wilberforce, based on Hagenbach's work.
Derivation
The Hagen–Poiseuille equation can be derived from the Navier–Stokes equations. The laminar flow through a pipe of uniform (circular) cross-section is known as Hagen–Poiseuille flow. The equations governing the Hagen–Poiseuille flow can be derived directly from the Navier–Stokes momentum equations in 3D cylindrical coordinates Шаблон:Math by making the following set of assumptions:
- The flow is steady ( Шаблон:Math ).
- The radial and azimuthal components of the fluid velocity are zero ( Шаблон:Math ).
- The flow is axisymmetric ( Шаблон:Math ).
- The flow is fully developed ( Шаблон:Math ). Here however, this can be proved via mass conservation, and the above assumptions.
Then the angular equation in the momentum equations and the continuity equation are identically satisfied. The radial momentum equation reduces to Шаблон:Math, i.e., the pressure Шаблон:Mvar is a function of the axial coordinate Шаблон:Mvar only. For brevity, use Шаблон:Mvar instead of <math>u_x</math>. The axial momentum equation reduces to
- <math> \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}\left(r \frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right)= \frac{1}{\mu} \frac{\mathrm{d} p}{\mathrm{d} x}</math>
where Шаблон:Mvar is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid. In the above equation, the left-hand side is only a function of Шаблон:Mvar and the right-hand side term is only a function of Шаблон:Mvar, implying that both terms must be the same constant. Evaluating this constant is straightforward. If we take the length of the pipe to be Шаблон:Mvar and denote the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe by Шаблон:Math (high pressure minus low pressure), then the constant is simply
- <math>-\frac{\mathrm{d}p}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{\Delta p}{L} = G</math>
defined such that Шаблон:Mvar is positive. The solution is
- <math> u = -\frac{Gr^2}{4\mu} + c_1 \ln r + c_2 </math>
Since Шаблон:Mvar needs to be finite at Шаблон:Math, Шаблон:Math. The no slip boundary condition at the pipe wall requires that Шаблон:Math at Шаблон:Math (radius of the pipe), which yields Шаблон:Math. Thus we have finally the following parabolic velocity profile:
- <math> u = \frac{G}{4\mu} \left(R^2 - r^2\right). </math>
The maximum velocity occurs at the pipe centerline (Шаблон:Math), Шаблон:Math. The average velocity can be obtained by integrating over the pipe cross section,
- <math> {u}_\mathrm{avg}=\frac{1}{\pi R^2} \int_0^R 2\pi ru \mathrm{d}r = \tfrac{1}{2} {u}_\mathrm{max}. </math>
The easily measurable quantity in experiments is the volumetric flow rate Шаблон:Math. Rearrangement of this gives the Hagen–Poiseuille equation
- <math> \Delta p = \frac{8\mu Q L}{\pi R^4}. </math>
Шаблон:Hidden begin Although more lengthy than directly using the Navier–Stokes equations, an alternative method of deriving the Hagen–Poiseuille equation is as follows.
Liquid flow through a pipe
Assume the liquid exhibits laminar flow. Laminar flow in a round pipe prescribes that there are a bunch of circular layers (lamina) of liquid, each having a velocity determined only by their radial distance from the center of the tube. Also assume the center is moving fastest while the liquid touching the walls of the tube is stationary (due to the no-slip condition).
To figure out the motion of the liquid, all forces acting on each lamina must be known:
- The pressure force pushing the liquid through the tube is the change in pressure multiplied by the area: Шаблон:Math. This force is in the direction of the motion of the liquid. The negative sign comes from the conventional way we define Шаблон:Math.
- Viscosity effects will pull from the faster lamina immediately closer to the center of the tube.
- Viscosity effects will drag from the slower lamina immediately closer to the walls of the tube.
Viscosity
When two layers of liquid in contact with each other move at different speeds, there will be a shear force between them. This force is proportional to the area of contact Шаблон:Mvar, the velocity gradient perpendicular to the direction of flow Шаблон:Math, and a proportionality constant (viscosity) and is given by
- <math> F_\text{viscosity, top} = - \mu A \frac{\Delta v_x}{\Delta y}.</math>
The negative sign is in there because we are concerned with the faster moving liquid (top in figure), which is being slowed by the slower liquid (bottom in figure). By Newton's third law of motion, the force on the slower liquid is equal and opposite (no negative sign) to the force on the faster liquid. This equation assumes that the area of contact is so large that we can ignore any effects from the edges and that the fluids behave as Newtonian fluids.
Faster lamina
Assume that we are figuring out the force on the lamina with radius Шаблон:Mvar. From the equation above, we need to know the area of contact and the velocity gradient. Think of the lamina as a ring of radius Шаблон:Mvar, thickness Шаблон:Mvar, and length Шаблон:Math. The area of contact between the lamina and the faster one is simply the surface area of the cylinder: Шаблон:Math. We don't know the exact form for the velocity of the liquid within the tube yet, but we do know (from our assumption above) that it is dependent on the radius. Therefore, the velocity gradient is the change of the velocity with respect to the change in the radius at the intersection of these two laminae. That intersection is at a radius of Шаблон:Mvar. So, considering that this force will be positive with respect to the movement of the liquid (but the derivative of the velocity is negative), the final form of the equation becomes
- <math> F_\text{viscosity, fast} = - 2 \pi r \mu \, \Delta x \, \left. \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} \right|_r </math>
where the vertical bar and subscript Шаблон:Mvar following the derivative indicates that it should be taken at a radius of Шаблон:Mvar.
Slower lamina
Next let's find the force of drag from the slower lamina. We need to calculate the same values that we did for the force from the faster lamina. In this case, the area of contact is at Шаблон:Math instead of Шаблон:Mvar. Also, we need to remember that this force opposes the direction of movement of the liquid and will therefore be negative (and that the derivative of the velocity is negative).
- <math> F_\text{viscosity, slow} = 2 \pi (r + \mathrm{d}r)\mu \, \Delta x \left. \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} \right|_{r+\mathrm{d}r} </math>
Putting it all together
To find the solution for the flow of a laminar layer through a tube, we need to make one last assumption. There is no acceleration of liquid in the pipe, and by Newton's first law, there is no net force. If there is no net force then we can add all of the forces together to get zero
- <math> 0 = F_\text{pressure} + F_\text{viscosity, fast} + F_\text{viscosity, slow} </math>
or
- <math> 0 = - \Delta p 2 \pi r\,\mathrm{d}r - 2 \pi r \mu \,\Delta x \left. \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} \right|_r + 2 \pi (r + \mathrm{d}r) \mu \,\Delta x \,\left. \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} \right \vert_{r+\mathrm{d}r}. </math>
First, to get everything happening at the same point, use the first two terms of a Taylor series expansion of the velocity gradient:
- <math> \left. \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} \right|_{r+\mathrm{d}r} = \left. \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} \right|_r + \left. \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 v}{\mathrm{d}r^2} \right|_r \,\mathrm{d}r .</math>
The expression is valid for all laminae. Grouping like terms and dropping the vertical bar since all derivatives are assumed to be at radius Шаблон:Mvar,
- <math> 0 = - \Delta p 2 \pi r \, \mathrm{d}r + 2 \pi \mu \, \mathrm{d}r \, \Delta x \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} + 2 \pi r \mu \, \mathrm{d}r \, \Delta x \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 v}{\mathrm{d}r^2} + 2 \pi \mu (\mathrm{d}r)^2 \, \Delta x \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 v}{\mathrm{d}r^2}. </math>
Finally, put this expression in the form of a differential equation, dropping the term quadratic in Шаблон:Mvar.
- <math> \frac{1}{\mu} \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta x} = \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 v}{\mathrm{d}r^2} + \frac{1}{r} \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}r} </math>
The above equation is the same as the one obtained from the Navier–Stokes equations and the derivation from here on follows as before. Шаблон:Hidden end
Startup of Poiseuille flow in a pipe
When a constant pressure gradient Шаблон:Math is applied between two ends of a long pipe, the flow will not immediately obtain Poiseuille profile, rather it develops through time and reaches the Poiseuille profile at steady state. The Navier–Stokes equations reduce to
- <math>\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \frac{G}{\rho} + \nu \left(\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial r^2} + \frac{1}{r} \frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right)</math>
with initial and boundary conditions,
- <math>u(r,0) = 0, \quad u(R,t) = 0.</math>
The velocity distribution is given by
- <math>u(r,t) = \frac{G}{4\mu}\left(R^2-r^2\right) - \frac{2GR^2}{\mu} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\lambda_n^3} \frac{J_0(\lambda_n r/R)}{J_1(\lambda_n)} e^{-\lambda_n^2 \nu t/R^2}, \quad J_0\left(\lambda_n\right)=0</math>
where Шаблон:Math is the Bessel function of the first kind of order zero and Шаблон:Mvar are the positive roots of this function and Шаблон:Math is the Bessel function of the first kind of order one. As Шаблон:Math, Poiseuille solution is recovered.[11]
Poiseuille flow in an annular section
If Шаблон:Math is the inner cylinder radii and Шаблон:Math is the outer cylinder radii, with constant applied pressure gradient between the two ends Шаблон:Math, the velocity distribution and the volume flux through the annular pipe are
- <math>
\begin{align} u(r) &= \frac{G}{4\mu}\left(R_1^2-r^2\right) + \frac{G}{4\mu}\left(R_2^2-R_1^2\right) \frac{\ln r/R_1}{\ln R_2/R_1},\\[6pt] Q &= \frac{G \pi}{8\mu}\left[R_2^4-R_1^4- \frac{\left(R_2^2-R_1^2\right)^2}{\ln R_2/R_1}\right] . \end{align} </math>
When Шаблон:Math, Шаблон:Math, the original problem is recovered.[12]
Poiseuille flow in a pipe with an oscillating pressure gradient
Flow through pipes with an oscillating pressure gradient finds applications in blood flow through large arteries.[13][14][15][16] The imposed pressure gradient is given by
- <math>\frac{\partial p}{\partial x} = -G -\alpha \cos\omega t-\beta\sin\omega t</math>
where Шаблон:Mvar, Шаблон:Mvar and Шаблон:Mvar are constants and Шаблон:Mvar is the frequency. The velocity field is given by
- <math>u(r,t)=\frac{G}{4\mu}\left(R^2-r^2\right) + [\alpha F_2 + \beta (F_1-1)]\frac{\cos\omega t}{\rho \omega} + [\beta F_2 - \alpha (F_1-1)]\frac{\sin\omega t}{\rho \omega} </math>
where
- <math>\begin{align}
F_1(kr) &= \frac{\mathrm{ber}(kr)\mathrm{ber}(kR) + \mathrm{bei}(kr) \mathrm{bei}(kR)}{\mathrm{ber}^2(kR) + \mathrm{bei}^2(kR)}, \\[6pt] F_2(kr) &= \frac{\mathrm{ber}(kr)\mathrm{bei}(kR) - \mathrm{bei}(kr) \mathrm{ber}(kR)}{\mathrm{ber}^2(kR) + \mathrm{bei}^2(kR)}, \end{align}</math>
where Шаблон:Math and Шаблон:Math are the Kelvin functions and Шаблон:Math.
Plane Poiseuille flow
Plane Poiseuille flow is flow created between two infinitely long parallel plates, separated by a distance Шаблон:Mvar with a constant pressure gradient Шаблон:Math is applied in the direction of flow. The flow is essentially unidirectional because of infinite length. The Navier–Stokes equations reduce to
- <math>\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 u}{\mathrm{d}y^2} = - \frac{G}{\mu}</math>
with no-slip condition on both walls
- <math>u(0)=0, \quad u(h)=0</math>
Therefore, the velocity distribution and the volume flow rate per unit length are
- <math>u(y) = \frac{G}{2\mu} y(h-y), \quad Q = \frac{Gh^3}{12\mu}.</math>
Poiseuille flow through some non-circular cross-sections
Joseph Boussinesq derived the velocity profile and volume flow rate in 1868 for rectangular channel and tubes of equilateral triangular cross-section and for elliptical cross-section.[17] Joseph Proudman derived the same for isosceles triangles in 1914.[18] Let Шаблон:Math be the constant pressure gradient acting in direction parallel to the motion.
The velocity and the volume flow rate in a rectangular channel of height Шаблон:Math and width Шаблон:Math are
- <math>\begin{align}
u(y,z) &= \frac{G}{2\mu} y(h-y) - \frac{4Gh^2}{\mu \pi^3} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(2n-1)^3} \frac{\sinh(\beta_n z) + \sinh [\beta_n (l-z)]}{\sinh (\beta_n l)} \sin (\beta_n y), \quad \beta_n = \frac{(2n-1)\pi}{h},\\[6pt] Q &= \frac{Gh^3l}{12\mu} - \frac{16 G h^4}{\pi^5 \mu} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(2n-1)^5} \frac{\cosh(\beta_n l) - 1}{\sinh(\beta_n l)}. \end{align}</math>
The velocity and the volume flow rate of tube with equilateral triangular cross-section of side length Шаблон:Math are
- <math>\begin{align}
u(y,z) &= - \frac{G}{4\mu h} (y-h)\left(y^2-3z^2\right),\\[6pt] Q &= \frac{Gh^4}{60\sqrt 3 \mu}. \end{align}</math>
The velocity and the volume flow rate in the right-angled isosceles triangle Шаблон:Math, Шаблон:Math are
- <math>\begin{align}
u(y,z) &= \frac{G}{2\mu}(y+z)(\pi-y) - \frac{G}{\pi\mu} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\beta_n^3 \sinh(2\pi\beta_n)} \left\{\sinh[\beta_n (2\pi-y+z)]\sin[\beta_n(y+z)] - \sinh[\beta_n(y+z)]\sin[\beta_n(y-z)] \right\} , \quad \beta_n = n+\tfrac{1}{2},\\[6pt] Q &= \frac{G \pi^4}{12\mu} - \frac{G}{2\pi\mu} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\beta_n^5} \left[\coth (2\pi\beta_n) + \csc (2\pi\beta_n)\right]. \end{align}</math>
The velocity distribution for tubes of elliptical cross-section with semiaxes Шаблон:Mvar and Шаблон:Mvar is[11]
- <math>
\begin{align} u(y,z) &= \frac{G}{2\mu \left(\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}\right)} \left(1- \frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{z^2}{b^2}\right),\\[6pt] Q &= \frac{\pi G a^3 b^3}{4\mu \left(a^2 + b^2\right)}. \end{align} </math>
Here, when Шаблон:Math, Poiseuille flow for circular pipe is recovered and when Шаблон:Math, plane Poiseuille flow is recovered. More explicit solutions with cross-sections such as snail-shaped sections, sections having the shape of a notch circle following a semicircle, annular sections between homofocal ellipses, annular sections between non-concentric circles are also available, as reviewed by Шаблон:Interlanguage link.[19][20]
Poiseuille flow through arbitrary cross-section
The flow through arbitrary cross-section Шаблон:Math satisfies the condition that Шаблон:Math on the walls. The governing equation reduces to[21]
- <math>\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2}+\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial z^2} = -\frac{G}{\mu}.</math>
If we introduce a new dependent variable as
- <math>U = u +\frac{G}{4\mu}\left(y^2+z^2\right),</math>
then it is easy to see that the problem reduces to that integrating a Laplace equation
- <math>\frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial y^2}+\frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial z^2}=0</math>
satisfying the condition
- <math>U = \frac{G}{4\mu}\left(y^2+z^2\right)</math>
on the wall.
Poiseuille's equation for an ideal isothermal gas
For a compressible fluid in a tube the volumetric flow rate Шаблон:Math and the axial velocity are not constant along the tube; but the mass flow rate is constant along the tube length. The volumetric flow rate is usually expressed at the outlet pressure. As fluid is compressed or expanded, work is done and the fluid is heated or cooled. This means that the flow rate depends on the heat transfer to and from the fluid. For an ideal gas in the isothermal case, where the temperature of the fluid is permitted to equilibrate with its surroundings, an approximate relation for the pressure drop can be derived.[22] Using ideal gas equation of state for constant temperature process (i.e., <math>p/\rho</math> is constant) and the conservation of mass flow rate (i.e., <math>\dot m=\rho Q</math> is constant), the relation Шаблон:Math can be obtained. Over a short section of the pipe, the gas flowing through the pipe can be assumed to be incompressible so that Poiseuille law can be used locally,
- <math>-\frac{\mathrm{d}p}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{8\mu Q}{\pi R^4} = \frac{8\mu Q_2p_2}{\pi p R^4} \quad \Rightarrow \quad -p\frac{\mathrm{d}p}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{8\mu Q_2p_2}{\pi R^4}.</math>
Here we assumed the local pressure gradient is not too great to have any compressibility effects. Though locally we ignored the effects of pressure variation due to density variation, over long distances these effects are taken into account. Since Шаблон:Mvar is independent of pressure, the above equation can be integrated over the length Шаблон:Mvar to give
- <math>p_1^2-p_2^2 = \frac{16 \mu L Q_2 p_2}{\pi R^4}.</math>
Hence the volumetric flow rate at the pipe outlet is given by
- <math> Q_2 =\frac{\pi R^4}{16 \mu L} \left( \frac{ p_1^2-p_2^2}{p_2}\right) = \frac{\pi R^4 \left( p_1-p_2\right)}{8 \mu L} \frac{\left( p_1+p_2\right)}{2 p_2}.</math>
This equation can be seen as Poiseuille's law with an extra correction factor Шаблон:Math expressing the average pressure relative to the outlet pressure.
Electrical circuits analogy
Шаблон:Unreferenced section Electricity was originally understood to be a kind of fluid. This hydraulic analogy is still conceptually useful for understanding circuits. This analogy is also used to study the frequency response of fluid-mechanical networks using circuit tools, in which case the fluid network is termed a hydraulic circuit. Poiseuille's law corresponds to Ohm's law for electrical circuits, Шаблон:Math. Since the net force acting on the fluid is equal to Шаблон:Math, where Шаблон:Math, i.e. Шаблон:Math, then from Poiseuille's law, it follows that
- <math>\Delta F = \frac{8 \mu LQ}{r^2}</math>.
For electrical circuits, let Шаблон:Mvar be the concentration of free charged particles (in m−3) and let Шаблон:Math be the charge of each particle (in coulombs). (For electrons, Шаблон:Math.) Then Шаблон:Mvar is the number of particles in the volume Шаблон:Mvar, and Шаблон:Math is their total charge. This is the charge that flows through the cross section per unit time, i.e. the current Шаблон:Mvar. Therefore, Шаблон:Math. Consequently, Шаблон:Math, and
- <math>\Delta F = \frac{8 \mu LI}{nr^2 q^*}.</math>
But Шаблон:Math, where Шаблон:Mvar is the total charge in the volume of the tube. The volume of the tube is equal to Шаблон:Math, so the number of charged particles in this volume is equal to Шаблон:Math, and their total charge is Шаблон:Math. Since the voltage Шаблон:Math, it follows then
- <math>V = \frac{8\mu LI}{n^2\pi r^4 \left(q^*\right)^2}.</math>
This is exactly Ohm's law, where the resistance Шаблон:Math is described by the formula
- <math>R = \frac{8\mu L}{n^2\pi r^4 \left(q^*\right)^2}</math>.
It follows that the resistance Шаблон:Mvar is proportional to the length Шаблон:Mvar of the resistor, which is true. However, it also follows that the resistance Шаблон:Mvar is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the radius Шаблон:Mvar, i.e. the resistance Шаблон:Mvar is inversely proportional to the second power of the cross section area Шаблон:Math of the resistor, which is different from the electrical formula. The electrical relation for the resistance is
- <math>R=\frac{\rho L}{S},</math>
where Шаблон:Mvar is the resistivity; i.e. the resistance Шаблон:Mvar is inversely proportional to the cross section area Шаблон:Mvar of the resistor.[23] The reason why Poiseuille's law leads to a different formula for the resistance Шаблон:Mvar is the difference between the fluid flow and the electric current. Electron gas is inviscid, so its velocity does not depend on the distance to the walls of the conductor. The resistance is due to the interaction between the flowing electrons and the atoms of the conductor. Therefore, Poiseuille's law and the hydraulic analogy are useful only within certain limits when applied to electricity. Both Ohm's law and Poiseuille's law illustrate transport phenomena.
Medical applications – intravenous access and fluid delivery
The Hagen–Poiseuille equation is useful in determining the vascular resistance and hence flow rate of intravenous (IV) fluids that may be achieved using various sizes of peripheral and central cannulas. The equation states that flow rate is proportional to the radius to the fourth power, meaning that a small increase in the internal diameter of the cannula yields a significant increase in flow rate of IV fluids. The radius of IV cannulas is typically measured in "gauge", which is inversely proportional to the radius. Peripheral IV cannulas are typically available as (from large to small) 14G, 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G, 26G. As an example, assuming cannula lengths are equal, the flow of a 14G cannula is 1.73 times that of a 16G cannula, and 4.16 times that of a 20G cannula. It also states that flow is inversely proportional to length, meaning that longer lines have lower flow rates. This is important to remember as in an emergency, many clinicians favor shorter, larger catheters compared to longer, narrower catheters. While of less clinical importance, an increased change in pressure (Шаблон:Math) — such as by pressurizing the bag of fluid, squeezing the bag, or hanging the bag higher (relative to the level of the cannula) — can be used to speed up flow rate. It is also useful to understand that viscous fluids will flow slower (e.g. in blood transfusion).
