Increase the pressure.'
ABSOLUTELY WRONG.Pressure cannot be increase by reducing a pipe diameter.If you have 60 PSI Flowing thought 2" pipe and decrease the pipe to 1" you still have the same 60 PSI supply pressure.
If the above lie was true then why not have the city main be 60" pipe reduce it to 2" to give "pressure" to 47 high rises?
What is actually happening your INCREASING VELOCITY LOWERING Volume and doing NOTHING but possibly lowering the pressures do to friction losses

Will water flow more easily through a wide pipe or a narrow pipe?
it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
When dealing with water pressure there is no head unless the pipe is blocked off right?
If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.
What condition is needed for the continuous flow of water in a pipe?
Negative pressure
How much more pressure does it take to push water up a vertical pipe than if the pipe is on a 45 degree angle?
it takes the same pressure if the vertical heights the same but since the 45 degree pipe would be longer it would create more flow restriction.
Why does water flow up a hill in the pipe?
It wont unless its pressurized or under vaccuum.
Will water flow out of a pipe if the pipe is covered with water?
Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.
Will water flow more easily through a wide pipe or a narrow pipe?
it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
What happens to speed of water in a pipe if the diameter of the pipe is decreased?
Assuming that the pressure remains at a constant, reducing the diameter of the pipe will increase the water flow. On the contrary, increasing the diameter would cause the water to flow at a much slower rate.
What condition is necessary for the sustained flow of water in a pipe?
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
What condition necessary for the sustained flow of water in a pipe?
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
How much water will be delivered from a half inch pipe at 100 psi?
More, depending on how long you allow the flow to flow.
How many gallons will flow through a 12 inch pipe at 50psi?
That depends entirely on the viscosity of the liquid in the pipe ! Water would flow faster than oil !
What is the maximum amount of water that can flow in a 2 inch pipe one half mile long?
Insufficient information, one needs to know the pressure of the water entering the pipe, the relative heights of both ends the pipe, the pressure of the water at the discharge of the pipe, the geometry of the pipe including the number and types of turns, and the pipe material or internal friction coefficient. Then you can calculate the flow.
The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a?
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
When dealing with water pressure there is no head unless the pipe is blocked off right?
If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
How long to fill a 55 gallon drum from a half-inch water line?
The answer depends on the flow rate or the water pressure, not just the pipe size.
