    This document contains calculations to determine the mass flow rate (ṁ) of a fluid through two sections of pipe. It first shows the calculations for ṁ1 of section 1, then ṁ2 of section 2, finding values of 0.295 and 0.311 lbm/s respectively. It then calculates the average ṁ as the average of ṁ1 and ṁ2, which is 0.304 lbm/s or 0.138 kg/s.
