Water Flow through Xylem: An Investigation of a Fluid Dynamics Principle Applied to Plants
Rice, Stanley A.; McArthur, John
American Biology Teacher, v66 n2 p120 Feb 2004
A study was conducted to prove that a large blood or xylem vessel could conduct 256 times more fluid than a vessel or a pipe that is four times smaller. The result of this study proved that if arteriosclerosis causes an artery to loose half its effective diameter, the blood flow would be reduced by fifteen-sixteenths.
