4μvL)/d_(h^2 ) )+((0.5ρv^2)/2) (2) The pressure drop varies in the axial direction with no change in the other two coordinate directions (y and z). Dyy, Dzz and Cyy, Czz were assumed as 1000 times as Dxx and Cxx in practical calculation for a better convergence of the numerical solution. Comparing two equations above, the resistance coefficients in the axial direction were determined by: D_XX=(28.4)/d_(h^2 ) (3) C_XX=(0.5)/L …
