A model of nonstationary flow of liquid and of a gas–liquid mixture in the reservoir–pipeline system is constructed and related equations are solved. Analytical expressions are obtained allowing one to determine the volume of the liquid flowing through any cross sections of a pipe per unit time. Numerical calculations were made at various values of the system parameters.
