5.) In your class textbook (6th Edition) in Figure 11.8(b) is seen a fire sprinkler system. The building shown in Figure 11.8(b) is a remote building housing a telecom data center. As seen the sprinkler system is a drypipe system in case this remote building loses its heating source which are the computers/servers for the data center. Therefore the building does not typically need separate heating but in case of a power failure there would be no heating. The available water is well water. Therefore, in case of a fire, the sprinkler system goes from a "dry-pipe" state to a "wet-pipe" state and each sprinkler heads design flow is 35gpm. Your property insurance carrier tells you and your design team that a fire tank with a fire pump will need to be built to provide 30 minutes of unimpeded water flow since the remote building is on well water. Fire tanks in standard sizes are available in 500-gallon increments (e.g.12,000 gallons, 12,500 gallons, 13,000 gallons, etc.).10% additional capacity in the fire tank is also necessary for water expansion in summer months. What size fire reservoir tank (in gallons) is required to meet these property insurance requirements?
