Let's say there is a main pipe containing $100\: \mathrm{m^3/hr}$ a fluid of density $750\: \mathrm{kg/m^3}$ and it's gonna be branched into 2 pipes (Pipe A and Pipe B) of the same diameter. If Pipe A is much shorter than Pipe B, then the pressure drop across Pipe B will definitely be higher right?
Will this condition affect the volumetric flow rate of the fluid in Pipes A and B?
If it doesn't, will the volumetric flow rate of both pipes be the same, that is $50\: \mathrm{m^3/hr}$?
