During a blood transfusion, gravity is used to provide the pressure to overcome the blood pressure and force the flow through a small needle into a vein. Consider a case where the needle is 3.0 cm long and has an internal diameter of 0.75 mm. If the required rate of flow is 0.03 cm3/s and the blood pressure in the vein is 11.00 kPa higher than atmospheric pressure (Pa), how high should the bottle be placed above the needle

Density of blood = 1.06x10³

Viscosity = 4 mpas

It should be 1.10 higher

Explanation:

L = 0.93

D = 0.75

R = 0.75/2 = 0.375

Q = 0.03x10^-3

Blood pressure = 11x10³

Pn = 4x10^-3

n = 4 x 10^-3

Density of blood = 1.06x10³

Pn - Pv = 8*Q*n*L/pi*r⁴

Pn - pv = 463.57pa

Pn - pv = 463.57pa

Make pn subject

Pn = Pv + 463.57pa ----1

Vn = Q/An

= 0.0679m/s

To get height above needle

Pn + 1/2pv²n = Pa + pgh ----2

We equate 1 and 2 together

We get

Pgh = 11466

To get h we divide through by pg

h = 11466/pg

h = 11466/(1.06x10³)x9.81

h = 1.1026

Approximately

Height = 1.1 meters

So it should be 1.10 meters higher

thank you!

you go to your settings preference and in the end youll see sth that says "i want to delete my acc" click on it and u'll acc will be deleted but u have to wait.
