What is the effect on the velocity of a fluid if streamlines are closely spaced?

$A$ tube of length $L$ is shown in the figure. The radius of the cross-section at point $(1)$ is $2 \ cm$ and at point $(2)$ is $1 \ cm$. If the velocity of water entering at point $(1)$ is $2 \ m/s$,then the velocity of water leaving at point $(2)$ will be: (in $m/s$)

Water is flowing in a pipe of diameter $4 \text{ cm}$ with a velocity $3 \text{ m/s}$. The water then enters into a tube of diameter $2 \text{ cm}$. The velocity of water in the other pipe is .......... $\text{m/s}$.

Explain streamlines and streamline flow.

Water is flowing through two horizontal pipes of different diameters which are connected together. The diameters of the two pipes are $3\, cm$ and $6\, cm$ respectively. If the speed of water in the narrower pipe is $4\, m/s$ and the pressure is $2.0 \times 10^4\, Pa$,then the speed of water in the wider pipe is ........ $m/s$.
