Pressure And Velocity

Can any one explain, how pressure decreases when velocity increases in case of fluids.
as the area reduces velocity increases, but the pressure reduces. pressure is inversely proportional to area i,e p = F/A, but tapering pipe as the area reduces as per pressure and area relation it has to increase but y pressure drop?

    In pipe, as area decreases velocity should increase to maintain flow rate constant by Flow Rate= Area*Velocity. Then apply law of energy conservation, as Kinetic energy is increasing other form of energy(in this case pressure energy) should decrease considering potential energy remaining constant.
