    Why does reduced diameter decrease flow?

    Textbooks say it decreases flow. But, when I think about it... If you blow through a small straw, you are blowing out less volume. But wouldn't the speed of flow be higher, therefore making up for the decrease in volume? Like this: Lower volume squeezed out faster = higher volume squeezed out...
