    This document contains calculations to determine velocity, flow rate, and time taken to reach pressure for pipes of varying diameters. It defines parameters like pipe diameters, areas, pressures, densities. Using Bernoulli's equation, it calculates the velocity in two pipes as 265.147 m/s and 1.061×103 m/s. The flow rate through the smaller pipe is 0.03 m3/s. It then calculates the required flow rate as 1.945×10-3 m3/s and time to reach pressure as 0.032 s. Finally, it defines a range of pipe diameters to graph flow rate as a function of diameter.
