A fluid flows through a pipe with a constant cross-sectional area. If the fluid's velocity increases, what happens to the volume flow rate, assuming the fluid is incompressible?

A pipe's cross-sectional area at point A is A1A_1A1​ and the fluid velocity is v1v_1v1​. At point B, the area is A2=3A1A_2 = 3A_1A2​=3A1​. If the fluid is incompressible, what is the fluid velocity v2v_2v2​ at point B?

An incompressible fluid flows through a pipe. If the diameter of the pipe doubles, what happens to the fluid velocity to maintain the same flow rate?

A fluid flows through a pipe system where both height and area change. At point 1, the pressure is P1P_1P1​, the velocity is v1v_1v1​, and the height is y1y_1y1​. At point 2, the pressure is P2P_2P2​, the velocity is v2=2v1v_2 = 2v_1v2​=2v1​, and the height is y2=2y1y_2 = 2y_1y2​=2y1​. Given that P1=200kPaP_1 = 200 kPaP1​=200kPa, v1=2m/sv_1 = 2 m/sv1​=2m/s, y1=1my_1 = 1 my1​=1m, and the fluid density rho=1000kg/m3rho = 1000 kg/m^3rho=1000kg/m3, find the pressure P2P_2P2​.

A tank has a hole at a certain depth, and water exits with a velocity calculated using Torricelli's theorem. If the area of the hole is 0.001m20.001 m^20.001m2 and the exit velocity is 5 m/s, what is the volume flow rate of the water exiting the tank?

Water flows through a horizontal pipe with varying cross-sectional area. At point 1, the pressure is 200 kPa and the velocity is 2 m/s. At point 2, the velocity is 4 m/s. Assuming the density of water is 1000kg/m31000 kg/m^31000kg/m3, what is the pressure at point 2?

A large water tank has a small leak near the bottom. The water level is initially at a height hhh above the hole, and the exit velocity is determined by Torricelli's theorem. If viscous losses are present, how would the actual exit velocity compare to the velocity predicted by Torricelli's theorem?
