I have 2 questions that are for my curiosity rather than for my needs.
I don't know much about physics and please excuse me if they sound dumb but it would be great if someone could enlighten me. Cheers.
Q1: In the picture below, would the case 2 have a higher flow rate than the case 1?
Sure there's the bottleneck but I thought the case 2 would have less friction in the wider section of the pipe, therefore, have a higher flow rate. Or would the difference in the flow rate be insignificant?
Q2: In the picture below, would the case 2 have a higher flow rate than the case 1? Or would the difference in the flow rate be insignificant?
The assumption is that they are both pushing the water to the same height with identical pumps.
