Resistance to flow through one-way and two-way valves is mainly determined by:
A) Size of the valve leaflets
B) Dead space volume of the valve body
C) Number and types of pressure taps
D) Tubing connected to the valve

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistance to flow through valves is mainly determined by the size of the valve leaflets, as this determines the cross-sectional area through which fluid can flow. Dead space volume, number and types of pressure taps, and tubing connected to the valve can contribute to resistance but to a lesser extent compared to the size of the valve leaflets.
