Tres Tanques

The hydraulic problem of the three tanks refers to a system that connects three tanks to each other, from three pipes with different diameters, which intersect at the same node. Pipes have known properties (lengths, diameters, and roughness). The problem is to determine the flows that circulate through each of the tubes, for which a virtual energy level must be established at the node that comprises the three pipes. To calculate the circulating flow through each tube, it is necessary to establish the principle of continuity at the node. The application solves a system for three tanks, with the following hydraulic condition:

Z1> Z2> Z3, likewise Z1> ZJ, ZJ> Z2> Z3,

Where: Z1 (Level of tank 1 (m)); Z2 (Level of tank 2 (m)); Z3 (Level of tank 3 (m)); ZJ (Virtual dimension (m)).
