Solved Fluids Mechanics Problems¶
A collection of problems from Crane TP 410 have been solved using the fluids library. These are industrially relevant problems. Crane TP 410 is used extensively as a source in fluids, although often there are better correlations that are implemented and chosen as default methods. All problems include a description of the problems, but Crane TP 410 includes schematics that are not included here. A copy can be obtained from your local library or bought here.
These problems often make use of thermo and pint so make sure you have them installed! More details on the unit handling library can be found at fluids.units.
