When pushing water through "rural class B poly pipe" The maximum flow you can achieve is 80lpm. However if you have the pipe running for 100m in length you loose 30lpm through friction loss. So at the end of the 100meter pipe you would only achieve 50lpm.

Yes, BUT your velocity (FPS) would be 16.34 and that may cause water hammering (hydraulic shock waves plus erosion of ferrous and non ferrous metal piping

Why as the water falls its speed increases and the area of cross section decreases?

It is explained by mass conservation, and water being an incompressible fluid. Imagine water going through a pipe with varying inside diameters Di's. Water will flow the fastest in the pipe section with the smallest diameter, and will flow the slowest in the widest section of the pipe. The product of the volumetric average velocity of the water flow v, times the cross section area A, is equal to the volumetric flow rate (vol/time) G. G = v∙A If you have a constant volumetric flow rate, if the area reduces to half, the velocity doubles. By the way, if you multiply the volumetric flow rate G by the liquid density ρ, you get the mass flow rate Q, (mass/time). Q = G∙ρ = ρ∙v∙A

How much water is lost per day through the excretory system?

How do magnets affect the flow rate of water?

It speeds it up the flow rate of water. But the reason why is because of when the magnetic forces attract and repel it increases the water pressure. The rate of moving water is determained by both air and water pressure. :) Doing an exiperiment and yes it does change in speed. (increases)


What types of matter are the best conductors of electricity?

Water and metal are the two most well known conductors. They are conductors because they let electricity flow through them. Humans are also conductors because more than half of our body contains water.
