Hello,
I'm new to Fluent and I'm not sure how to simulate this module

I have a tank full of water with 1 m head connected to a pipe at the exit (1.7 mm diameter & 22 cm length) then connected to another pipe with (1 mm diamter & 10 cm length), the exit at the atm. pressure.

Req: to determine the volume flow rate at the 2nd pipe exit

Right now, I drew only the 2nd pipe, the mesh quality should be good enough

- used Laminar flow (because it's given around 1300 Reynolds no.)
- boundary conditions: pressure inlet (9806 pa) >> equivalent to 1 m headwater
pressure outlet 0 (gauge)

- reference values: Area (0.785398 mm^2)
length (100 mm)
viscosity (0.00089)
pressure and velocity are zero

Are my assumptions correct until now?
