This is a classic problem in hydraulic engineering. Three reservoirs are connected by pipes. All the reservoirs have surfaces at different elevations.
Given the height each reservoir and pressure loss in each leg of the pipe network, liquid will either flow into or out of each reservoir.
If you apply the Bernoulli equation from the surface of each reservoir to the pipe junction, you end up with three nonlinear equations in four unknowns (the flowrates in each leg of the piping network and the total pressure head at the junction). An additional equation is supplied by applying the Continuity Law at the pipe junction (i.e. the sum of all flowrates at the junction is zero if there is no outflow).
This now gives four equations in four unknowns; no analytical solution is possible. You can solve the equations iteratively, however, using a tool like Excel. See the spreadsheet in the related link for an example

What is the difference between water injection and water flooding?
I do not think that there is any difference. Petroleum engineers normally inject water into an oil reservoir to maintain the reservoir pressure (and hence the ability of the reservoir to pump oil to the surface). In the process and if the water injection wells are properly located, the injected water normally sweeps (pushes out) out more oil effectively flooding the reservoir and increasing the amount of oil that is recovered from the reservoir. This incremental oil will otherwise be left behind in the reservoir. Hence, in an oil reservoir where the natural aquifer is large and strong enough to maintain the reservoir pressure, water injection is unlikely to significantly increase the oil recovery from the reservoir.
List 6 difference between dam and reservoir?
A reservoir is a man made "lake" whereas a lake is a result of glaciation that has changed over time and formed a U-shaped valley and the lake will be present in the valley. A lake is an inland body of freshwater & a reservoir is a man made (artificial) version of the same thing. Water in a reservoir is kept there by means of a dam.
A hydropower reservoir is an example of?
is like an air.
What is a hydropower reservoir an example of?
gravitational energy
What is the effect of insulation failure in three phase system?
ground faults are the most common problem.
How many syllables in reservoir?
Reservoir has three syllables.
What are three bodies of water in harris county?
Three bodies of water in Harris County, Texas would be Lake Houston, Sheldon Reservoir and Highlands Reservoir.
Can you fly with an ommaya reservoir in your head?
Yes....I have one and I fly with no problem.
What would cause antifreeze to leak on ground near reservior and smell like burning when driving?
1996 and up Taurus cars have a problem with cracking on the bottom of the reservoir. I have replaced the tank on all three of my familys Tauruses because two had hairline cracks that would leave antifreeze on the ground near the reservoir.
If my 2000 impala is leaking out the power steering fluid as soon as it is added what is the problem?
broken hose to the power steering reservoir or the rack on the firewall is leaking badly or the reservoir has a hole in it.
What causes coolant to backup and spill over in the reservoir?
I had this problem ....Head Gasket or radiator cap
What are three lakes in Colorado?
Lake Granby, Eleven Mile Reservoir, Twin Lakes,
What is the problem when the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor on a 1997 Dodge pickup?
If the master cylinder reservoir is empty, you have a leak somewhere. If the master cylinder reservoir is full, the master cylinder is bad.
Ive had to replace the reservoir tank three times due to the tank splits open?
This is a question?
What is wrong if your power-steering is blowing back?
What could you possibly mean by blowing back?Answer 2When you say blowing back, is the fluid in the reservoir airated? It could be that the pump is cavitating or you have a problem on the feed line from the reservoir to the pump if the reservoir is a remote one. Sounds like the pump requires attention. www.powerbrakeandsteering.co.za
How does a dam help solve the problem of scarce water?
A dam can help solve the problem of scarce water by storing water during times of surplus and releasing it during times of scarcity. This allows for better water management and ensures a more consistent supply of water for drinking, irrigation, and other needs in the region.
Why would the low coolant light come onon a 2000 Sable?
In the engine compartment, on the left side of the engine is the coolant reservoir. In the coolant reservoir, there is a sensor at the bottom of the reservoir. This sensor is supposed to let you know when you are low on coolant, but can also become defective, and give you a "false-positive" reading. The only way to know this is to check your coolant when the low coolant light comes on. If there is a significant decrease in coolant, you may have a problem in the cooling system , but if you don't, chances are the sensor isn't working. If the sensor is the problem, you can unplug it from the coolant reservoir, by unscrewing the two screws holding the reservoir to the car's inside firewall, then tilting the back of the coolant reservoir forward until you see wiring coming from the bottom of the reservoir, which is the plug for the low coolant sensor. Unplug the sensor, and the low coolant light won't come on anymore. However, you will now have to make sure you check your coolant level in the reservoir on a regular basis.
