Find Flow Rate Given Pressure Drop in a Pipe Taper | Bernoulli's Law

Find the flow rate Q of an incompressible fluid given only the dimensions of a pipe taper aka. a Venturi as well as the static pressure on either side of the taper. This solution combines Bernoulli's Law aka Bernoullis Principle with the Continuity Equation to generate a function for the flow velocity as well as flow rate through a pipe. In short as the pipe necks down, the flow velocity must increase, as a result dynamic pressure increases. Bernoulli's law dictates that the total energy in the stream must be the same on both sides of the pipe taper, since there is an increase in dynamic pressure, there must be a decrease in static pressure. This solution assumes frictional losses do not occur within the pipe.
