Heart-lung machines and artificial kidney machines employ blood pumps. $A$ mechanical pump can mangle blood cells. The figure represents an electromagnetic pump. The blood is confined to an electrically insulating tube, represented as a rectangle of width $\omega$ and height $h$. Two electrodes fit into the top and the bottom of the tube. The potential difference between them establishes an electric current through the blood, with current density $J$ over a section of length $L$. $A$ perpendicular magnetic field $B$ exists in the same region. The section of liquid in the magnetic field experiences a pressure increase given by:
