Question

Intravenous infusions are normally flowed by gravity when the fluid bottle is high enough to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and force the fluid to enter, as illustrated in the figure. The higher the height at which the bottle rises, the greater the flow rate of the fluid. a) If the fluid and blood pressures are observed to balance each other when the bottle is 1.2 m above arm level, determine the gauge pressure of the blood. b) If the gauge pressure of the fluid at the arm level needs to be 2038 mm H2O to have sufficient flow, determine at what height the bottle should be placed. Consider the density of blood to be 1058 kg / m3.
