You did mean just 1 4870x2 right?

yes

ok...just making sure.

Volumetric flowrate, Q, is a function of velocity, v, and cross sectional area, A.
Q = v*A

Q is constant throughout the loop, but v and A can vary. A decrease in area (like a nozzle) would mean an increase in v.

I was just going to add that flow is a measure of the amount of liquid that passes per unit time.

If there is a small hole to pass through, the liquid will go faster but the number that comes out of the equation will be exactly the same.

Gotchya!

Flowrate and Velocity are obviously two different things. Thanks for the clarification.
