The Attempt at a Solution
I believe location A would be the best because that is where the pressure wave would be maximum, as energy will dissipate by the time it gets to either B or C. However, due to the elevation, I'm concerned about cavitation at B, and think putting the surge tank there would prevent possible cavitation. Any input would be awesome, thanks.
