This problem set in fluid mechanics contains 5 problems involving calculations related to flow rates, velocities, pressures, and heights/deflections in systems involving air, liquids, and mixtures flowing through pipes, tanks, and other vessels. The key details provided are the initial conditions, system diagrams, and variables to be calculated for incompressible, steady, inviscid flow with no friction losses assumed.
