Question:

A blood warmer is to be used during the transfusion of blood to a patient. This device is to heat blood taken from the blood bank at 10°C to 37°C at a flow rate of 200 ml/min. The blood passes through tubing of length 2 m, with a rectangular cross section 6.4 mm × 1.6 mm. At what rate must heat be added to the blood to accomplish the required temperature increase? If the fluid originates from a large tank with nearly zero velocity and flows vertically downward for its 2-m length, estimate the magnitudes of kinetic and potential energy changes. Assume the blood's properties are similar to those of water.
