Fluid Mechanics and blood pump report

Write a report on the application of fluid mechanics to blood pumps for humans. In the report, which should be typed and be of 12 pages (A4), at least the following topics should be addressed
• The circumstances wherein artificial pumping of blood is needed; background to the development of blood pumps
• Discussion on human blood as fluids
• Key aspects in the comparison of blood pumps versus water pumps
• Issues of flow rate, pressures, size, speed, power, efficiency, maintenance, reliability and life
expectancy of the devices; and significance of these issues
• Issues of blood damage, and blood clot
• How fluid mechanics has been applied to help solve problem issues associated with blood
pumps
• Comparison of key aspects pertaining to blood pumps of different designs and types (for
example, axial-flow pumps versus centrifugal pumps, and other types of pump). Key aspects
are the issues mentioned above, plus manufacturing issues and cost
• A specific case study with quantitative information, and other information relating to
development, usage, limitations, etc.
• Important outstanding issues relating to blood pumps, and any directions for their solutions
