Chapter 11 Problem 11.138

Question

A blood transfusion is being set up in an emergency room for an accident victim. Blood has a density of 1060 kg/m3 and a viscosity of 4.0 103 Pa s. The needle being used has a length of 3.0 cm and an inner radius of 0.25 mm. The doctor wishes to use a volume flow rate through the needle of 4.5 108 m3 /s. What is the distance h above the victims arm where the level of the blood in the transfusion bottle should be located? As an approximation, assume that the level of the blood in the transfusion bottle and the point where the needle enters the vein in the arm have the same pressure of one atmosphere. (In reality, the pressure in the vein is slightly above atmospheric pressure.) 8

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 137 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A blood transfusion is being set up in an emergency room for an accident victim. Blood has a density of 1060 kg/m3 and a viscosity of 4.0 103 Pa s. The needle being used has a length of 3.0 cm and an inner radius of 0.25 mm. The doctor wishes to use a volume flow rate through the needle of 4.5 108 m3 /s. What is the distance h above the victims arm where the level of the blood in the transfusion bottle should be located? As an approximation, assume that the level of the blood in the transfusion bottle and the point where the needle enters the vein in the arm have the same pressure of one atmosphere. (In reality, the pressure in the vein is slightly above atmospheric pressure.) 8
From the textbook chapter Fluids you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
