The hydraulic resistance paradox in rapid narrow pipe waterflow
Abstract In this work we present experimental results of cross-sectional speed of water flow in narrow cylindrical metal tubes at high pressure gradients up to 1.1 GPa $$\cdot$$ · m−1. The measurement draws attention to the paradoxical behaviour of flowing water in internal diameters less than 250 ...
