A) Correct. For a constant weight flow rate, the velocity of fluid will increase if the cross-sectional area or diameter (d) of the pipe decreases.
B) Incorrect. For a constant weight flow rate, the velocity of fluid will increase if the cross-sectional area or diameter (d) of the pipe decreases.
C) Incorrect. For a constant weight flow rate, the velocity of fluid will increase if the cross-sectional area or diameter (d) of the pipe decreases.
D) Incorrect. For a constant weight flow rate, the velocity of fluid will increase if the cross-sectional area or diameter (d) of the pipe decreases.
