Hi,
I have been looking at some discussion questions in a textbook and there is a question about blood transfusion from inverted glass bottle rather than a flexible bag. The question" What would happen if blood were transfused from an inverted glass bottle rather than a flexible bag?
I was thinking along the lines in the volume difference but then I think I am missing a link to or an idea to connect it to pressure and how the velocity of the blood coming out will change. Could it also be due to the air bubble it will have changing the pressure of the bottle of the inside compared to the outside thus stopping it from letting any more blood out? I'm not to sure what principles I need to look at to try and explain this to myself as I am a little bit confused.
Could someone help me straighten out what ideas i need to look at in particular?
Thanks in advance![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
