You have probably noticed that some liquids, such as honey and molasses, flow slowly at room temperature. How does heating affect flow rate?​

Answer:

Viscosity of water decreases markedly with increasing temperature. When the viscosity decreases, the flow resistance decreases. So for the same driving force, that is the pressure drop per unit length, the water flow rate will be higher.

Hope this helps :)
