The reservoir level in Example 8.4 will continue to fall as the siphon empties the reservoir. If the water temperature is 20°C, what is the maximum elevation difference between the crown and the falling reservoir level before the pressure at the crown drops below the vapor pressure of water? Assume the flow rate remains constant as the reservoir empties (i.e., the downstream water level is falling at the same rate as the reservoir level).
