• Apply the energy equation between reservoir A and junction, get Ejunction
• Apply the energy equation between the junction and reservoir B, get head loss in
pipe 2 then flow rate Q2.
• Apply continuity equation at the junction, get flow rate Q3.
• Apply the energy equation between the junction and reservoir 3, get elevation Z3.

• In reaching the final adjusted level it is helpful to make a small plot for the case where Q1
= Q2 + Q3 .
• Two or three points, with one fairly close to the axis, determine a curve which intersects
the vertical axis at the equilibrium level of P, that is, for the condition Q1 –(Q2+Q3)= 0.
