Does anybody have Reynold’s number?

You need a reducer fitting. Maybe several.

I’m here to discount that idea.

Ummm, faulty pipelines will leak, and then we’ll be exposed…

Bernoulli’s law.

The total apathy connection: "The fluids flowing right into a fluid fall might slow to trickle like Dick .’

Politicians: “Looks fine to me. Or will, once I get my ‘campaign contributions’”.

Direction doesn’t matter. Flow is proportional to SQRT of the difference in upstream and downstream pressures.

pressure direction – maybe knowledge AND truth can help in some instances – who’d of thought

But if it is flowing to the left, they are going to have a doosie of a high-pressure issue on the end!

They were hired by OPEC, so OPEC would have another excuse to raise oil prices…

Not really, they will either blow off the small pipe or collapse it due to the higher flow of the large pipe.

Matryoshka pipe?
