Why do waves travel faster in deep water?
The depth of moving water does not determine how fast it travels. Certainly shallow water will travel faster than deep water for the same volume of water moving past a point per unit of time. And if you think about it, it will become clear. Let's look at water in a pipe and make a comparison. Two pipes of different diameter have water moving through them. And the same volume of water is moving through both pipes per unit of time. The water in the smaller pipe will have to travel faster to get the same volume of it past a point in a given time as the larger pipe. Said another way, the water moving through the larger pipe won't be flowing as fast as the water in the smaller pipe to get the same flow rate (gallons/minute, or other measure). The same logic applies to streams or rivers. What we generally see is that large rivers move slowly, but that's generally because the slopedown which they run is small compared to smaller tributaries higher up. This, that is, the issue with the slope or gradient down which water is moving, is a geological phenomenon. We often seem smaller streams or rivers moving more quickly than larger ones. But we cannot make a blanket statement that shallow water moves more quickly than deep water. It may, or may not, depending on the circumstances.
Why do the pipes vibrate loud when you turn the hot water on but only in one bathroom and only the sink?
The hot water pipe is not clamped properly. When the water flows through the pipe when you open the faucet, the turbulence makes the pipe move and bang against what ever it is not clamped to properly.
How can you tell what direction water is flowing through a copper pipe?
By looking at the check or globe valve
What is a Pitometer?
It's not a unit of measurement, that's for sure. It's a piece of equipment that measures the relative velocity of fluid, such as in wastewater applications or in firefighting (when you want to know how fast and hard the water is coming through a particular piece of pipe).
Why does a fireman struggle to hold his hose pipe?
Water flowing through it makes it very difficult to control.
What is pipe travel?
direction water flows through a pipe
How much PSI does it take to push one gallon of water through a one half inch pipe?
That would also depend on the length of the pipe, and on how fast you want the water to move. If you are in no hurry, even the slightest pressure will be enough to push the water through the pipe.That would also depend on the length of the pipe, and on how fast you want the water to move.

Which is best to be pushed through a pipe a solid a liquid or a gas?
Well, I don't know what can be PUSHED through a pipe but i know that sound can travel through pipes, water can travel through pipes and gases can travel through pipes. But solids don't have a chance! How do you think we get our water in our homes? It travels through pipes of course! I hoped this helped a little. Thank You!
What kind of pipe does water go through?
A water pipe.
What is a pipe in which smoke is inhaled through water?
HOOKAH
Does more water pass through a thicker pipe or thin pipe?
thicker pipe
How much water can go through a 1inch pipe?
depends on the pressure pushing through the pipe
Will water flow more easily through a wide pipe or a narrow pipe?
it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
How does water get into water towers?
Water is forced up through a pipe or pipes.
The amount of water that flows through a pipe does not depend on?
what type of material the pipe is made out of.
Why a sound is heard when water is flowing through a pipe?
Water flowing through the pipe creates some friction. That friction creates vibration, vibration = sound.
How much water will a twelve inch pipe move per second?
Depends on the diameter of the pipe and the speed at which the water travels through it.
