A catheter is a specialised needle intended for long-term insertion into a vein in a patient's arm. Engineers are redesigning them to cause less discomfort and damage. An intravenous chemotherapy system is based on a new catheter design. A liquid drug flows to the patient from a plastic bag via through a smooth plastic tube. The liquid drug completely fills the tube at the start of the procedure. The bag is at atmospheric pressure and it is 0.75 m vertically above the catheter. The tube is 2 mm in diameter and 2.0 m long. The average blood pressure in the vein is 6500 Pa gauge. The density of the liquid drug being supplied is 1020.4 kg/m
3 and its dynamic viscosity is 2 x 10-3 Pa.s. Exactly 314 mL of the drug must be supplied. In a laboratory experiment, you measured a fitting head loss for the catheter equivalent to 0.068 m of the liquid drug.

(a) What is the key assumption you must make to do this problem?

(b) How long will it take to supply the required amount of drug?
