Hydraulics Sheet 5 Energy A

This document contains a multi-page hydraulics course document with 20 practice problems related to fluid flow, pressure, velocity, flow rate, and energy concepts. The problems involve calculations using diagrams of pipes, nozzles, orifices, and other hydraulic components. Key variables include flow rate, pressure, velocity, height, diameter, temperature, density, and loss coefficients. The goal is to use principles of fluid mechanics, such as Bernoulli's equation, to solve the hydraulic circuit problems.
