Effect of Tube Diameter on Fluid Velocity

Easy Physics Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is flowing steadily through a horizontal tube of varying diameter. According to the principle of continuity in fluid mechanics, the product of the cross-sectional area (A) and the fluid velocity (v) remains constant along the tube. If the diameter of the tube decreases, what happens to the velocity of the fluid in that section of the tube?
