If the following are variable:
a) Water pressure in all areas
b) Water levels in all areas
c) Air pressure in all areas
d) Seal integrity
And everything else is constant then regarding weather each chamber will fully flood:
Chamber 1 will flood fully if:
a) there is enough water out side the chambers to flood chamber 1 with out the water level out side the chambers falling below the top of chamber 1.
Chamber 2 will flood fully if:
a) Chamber 1 has fully flooded
and
b) The water pressure out side chamber 2 has not decreased below 99.0000[...]001 lbs per unspecified unit of area as a result of a decrease in the water level out side the chambers caused by the filling of chamber 1.
and
c) The air pressure in chamber 2 is less than the water pressure on the seal.
and
d) there is enough water out side the chambers to fully flood chamber 2 with out the water level out side the chambers falling below the top of chamber 2.
Chamber 3 will flood fully if:
a) Chamber 1 and chamber 2 have fully flooded
and
b) The water pressure out side chamber 3 has not decreased below 99.0000[...]001 lbs per unspecified unit of area as a result of a decrease in the water level out side the chambers caused by the filling of chamber 1 and chamber 2.
and
c) The air pressure in chamber 3 is less than the water pressure on the seal.
and
d) there is enough water out side the chambers to fully flood chamber 3 with out the water level out side the chambers falling below the top of chamber 3.
Is that comprehensive yet?
