Answer:
A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet
The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube
The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon
