an inspection with your manager. The flow through pipe A is always fully turbulent. While you
are watching the gauges on pipe A, which read pressure drop through the length of the pipe,
the pressure increases by a factor of two. Your manager wants to know what is happening.

unchanged. In five seconds you figure out the flow rate increase. What do you tell your
manager?
