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 ...

description 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.

However for very low diameters below 250  $$\upmu$$ μ m, the cross-section speed rises again and reaches almost the maximum theoretical value of the outflow speed for the appropriate pressure without energy loss caused by contraction or hydraulic friction.
