Question: 2 . ( 5 0 pts ) Water is transported from a large reservoir to a tanker truck with the help of a centrifugal pump,

2.(50 pts ) Water is transported from a large reservoir to a tanker truck with the help of a centrifugal pump, as shown in the image. The pipeline is made of galvanized iron. The tanker truck has a maximum storage capacity of 10,000 liters and must be completely filled within 40 minutes. Neglect minor losses in the inlet and exit sections of the pipeline, as well as the straight pipe section before de first elbow (the closer to the reservoir). Take the properties of water as \(\rho=1000\frac{\mathrm{~kg}}{\mathrm{~m}^{2}},\mu=1.0\times 10^{-3}\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{ms}\).
a) Calculate the pump head required and select the pump according to the given performance curves. (\(\mathbf{35}\) pts)
b) Calculate the pressure at point B (right after the elbow outlet).(15 pts )
