You cannot make meaningful scientific comments on this.
The effect on the flow rate of different resistances depends on the supply pressure.
That typically varies between a static pressure of 1.0 bar and 10 bar in domestic properties!

Why not? If you treat the pressure as a constant, and assume the only variable is the pipe width.
I'm with you on this one... for domestic flow rates (and pressures), I would think that the relationship between pressure and flow through any given length of static plumbing is relatively linear. Given that the viscosity of potable water is likely about the same in lands end as it is in john o-groats!
