Red blood cells normally live for 110 to 120 days. After that, they naturally break down and are most often removed from the circulation by the spleen.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In fluid mechanics, plug flow is a simple model of the velocity profile of a fluid flowing in a pipe. In plug flow, the velocity of the fluid is assumed to be constant across any cross-section of the pipe perpendicular to the axis of the pipe.he plug flow model has many practical applications. One example is in the design of chemical reactors. Essentially no back mixing is assumed with plugs of fluid passing through the reactor.
