Assignment # 01 - (2023-24)

The document is an assignment from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Institute of Engineering and Technology in Lucknow, India. It contains 21 problems related to chemical engineering fluid mechanics. The problems cover topics like deriving expressions involving pressure, density and temperature, calculating absolute pressure at different depths in tanks containing mixtures of fluids, determining the fraction of a block floating at a fluid interface above the water, calculating the maximum payload of a helium balloon, using manometers to determine pressures, relating the change in height of a mercury manometer to the change in pressure, and calculating gauge pressures in tanks on accelerating and decelerating elevators. Students are required to solve these problems on A4 size paper and submit their assignments by November
