Consider the following water circuit: water is continually pumped to high pressure by a pump, and then funnelled into a pipe that has lower pressure at its far end (else the water would not flow through the pipe) and back to the pump. Two such circuits are identical, except for one difference: the pipes in one circuit have a larger diameter than the pipes in the other circuit. Through which circuit is the flow of water greater

Answer:

The circuit with the larger diameter pipes will have higher water flow.

Explanation:

The flow rate can be calculated with this formula, [tex]Q = v.A[/tex] , where [tex]v[/tex] is the velocity of the water flow and [tex]A[/tex] is the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Considering the two circuits are identical except only for the diameter of the pipes, the flow of water will be greater through the circuit with the larger diameter pipes. It will be proportional with respect to the square of the pipe's diameter.

I hope this answer helps.
