using a smaller pipe would increase the pressure, using a bigger pipe would enable an increase of flow rate. If you want to know more, have a closer look at this post: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-439898.html

There are two ways of increasing water pressure in you case, ether reduce the water flow (reduce number of outlets that demand water) or increase the main water supply flow rate. If you have a broken pump and you are drawing water from a source that is not designed to have more water drawn, then...

if there is a load, perhaps you could look at the workings of a crank on a bicycle. Are you attaching anything to each end of the shaft? some shafts are frozen (reduced in size) then feed into the bearing and gradually heated to create a mate through expansion of metal, or you can have them...

If you have a component or assembly, and you want to show the inner mechanics, or find the measurements of parts inside a component or assembly, then you would draw a picture as if it the picture was on a plane that cut through the component or assembly. The material which you cut through, you...

(FOR HOLLOW PIPE) if you have modulus of elasticity for that particular steel you can work out the extension: extension= (Force x Length)/(Material area x modulus of elasticity) (material area= total area-void area) you will have to play around with the dia. and void area (area of...
