Based on the formula for the volume (V = A * h) the following equation is used for a cylinder:

Vcylinder = A * h = π * r2 * h

  • Consecutively, i.e., in a row, as the resistance Resistance Physiologically, the opposition to flow of air caused by the forces of friction. As a part of pulmonary function testing, it is the ratio of driving pressure to the rate of air flow. Ventilation: Mechanics of Breathing is added together.
  • Branching, in which the total flow Flow Blood flows through the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins in a closed, continuous circuit. Flow is the movement of volume per unit of time. Flow is affected by the pressure gradient and the resistance fluid encounters between 2 points. Vascular resistance is the opposition to flow, which is caused primarily by blood friction against vessel walls. Vascular Resistance, Flow, and Mean Arterial Pressure is constant at each branch node, i.e., the total incoming liquid is equal to the total outgoing liquid.
