Express the equation for discharge through a circular pipe.

Q AV
Here, cross-sectional area of the pipe is A and velocity of the fluid is V.
Hence, velocity of the pipe can be written as,
Q
V
A
V

A

When the outlet of the tube is half-closed, then cross-sectional area decreases which leads
to increase in velocity of water. Again, when the pipe is fully opened, velocity decreases
because of increase in cross-sectional area.
