Reservoir B is 16m below reservoir A, and reservoir C is 24m below reservoir A. All pipes have f= 0.01. (Ignore and entry and exit losses.) We know the flow is from A to D and from D to C but are never quite sure which way the flow is along the other pipe either D to B or B to D. We first must assume one direction. If that is not correct there will not be a sensible solution. To keep the notation from above we can write za = 24, 26 = 16 and z = 0.
