(b) A cylindrical storage tank with base area 90 m is being filled with water through an entry duct with cross-section area 250 cm, as shown in Figure 3. Concurrently, water is being extracted from the storage tank through three exit pipes to feed three different cooling systems. The inlet of the exit pipes is located 1 m above the bottom of the storage tank and the volumetric flow rate in each exit pipe is 10 L/s. Water is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible.
