If two blood vessels carry blood with the same viscosity. They have the same length but different cross section areas where A1 > A2. IF the Hagan-Poiseuille Law applies and both vessels require the same flow rate. Which vessel has the larger pressure drop?

Vessel 1 or Vessel 2?

Two vessels contain the same number N of molecules of the same perfect gas. Initially the two vessels are isolated from each other, the gases being at the same temperature T but at different pressures P1 and P2. The partition separating the two gases is removed. Find the change of entropy of the system when equilibrium has been re-established, in terms of initial pressures P1 and P2. Show that this entropy change is non-negative.
