Impact of 1 AOT on the flow of the whole Pipeline
Bottleneck case : imagine at one point of the pipeline there is a bottleneck. Imagine a water hose full of water but at one point there is a stone partially blocking the hose : the flow on the whole hose is impacted (upstream and downstream): the flow (volume per unit of time) is smaller even though the quantity at the reservoir (beginning of the hose) is unlimited. When you remove the stone (which is equivalent as changing it in water, or reduce its viscosity) the whole flow on all the pipeline is increased. This is why the AOTs are to be installed first at the bottlenecks points where the impact is major. No law of physics is broken, the AOT can proceed ...
