I think this solution has not really reached a convergence to steady state. If it does not converge that should confirm a bug in setting the BC.

PS: are you using a small Re number?

Actually, fixed total pressure at the inlet will give a different velocity profile. So it seems we cannot simply compare with Poiseuille solution.

At the steady state the solution has a constant velocity along x, therefore (p0_inl=p_inl + k_inl) and (p0_out=p_out + k_out) being k_out=k_inl should provide the same pressure difference.
