My scenario is this::
Simulate a water tank associated with two taps: one used to fill the tank and another used to empty the tank.
Rules:
a) The total capacity of the tank is 2000 liters and each "ball" represents 10 liters.
b) The tap that fills the tank has a flow rate of 10 liters every 150 ms (milliseconds).
c) The tap that empties the tank has a flow rate of 30 liters every 150 ms (milliseconds).
d) The tank controller is responsible for opening and closing the taps. e) When the tank reaches its maximum volume, the tap filler is closed and the tap emptying is opened.
f) When the tank is below 50% of its volume the filling tap shall be opened.
g) When the volume of water is below the tap, the tap shall be turned off.
My problem:
How do I make the filler faucet (faucetA) and tap emptying (faucetB) have a parallelism according to my business rule?

thanks for the answer. My question was specifically Multithread and parallelism. According to the Business Rules cited above, how do I correctly handle the taps (faucets)? I feel that my Tankcontroller class Run method is incorrect handling these threads. If answer I will point to your question.
– Amganad
could explain point g) ? How so smaller than the drain tap? When the tank has less than 30 lt?
– MauroAlmeida
when the tank is at < 50% the drain tap will be shut down and the fill tap will be opened.
– Amganad
Why did you use Bigdecimal? Here the numbers do not go beyond 2000 and do not require the use of this class.
– MauroAlmeida
I used to generate the percentage of liters in the tank.
