For this project, we will be creating a liquid storage and transfer system, suitable for nearly any liquid fluid scenario; while the term fluid can apply to both liquids and gases, we will only consider liquids in this book. In particular, we will include physics-based, mathematical formulas to calculate pressure and flow rate, while accounting for differences in liquid density to make the model suitable for any liquid.

Specifically, we will cover the following topics:

• Project requirements
• Utility functions
• Simulating storage tanks
• Simulating valves
• Simulating pumps
