With the average speed increasing, the loss of pressure is growing. Speed is linked to flow rate directly.

An increase or reduction in the flow rate will lead to an increase or decrease in the speed. The smaller
pipe produces more contact between the liquid and the pipe, which increases friction. The size of the
pipe also influences the speed. Because of the constant rate of flow, reducing tube size increases the
friction. The losses in friction are cumulative, as the fluid passes along the pipe length. The longer the
distance, the higher the loss of friction. Fluids having a high viscosity are more rapidly circulating and do
not typically sustain currents and t
