**Chapter 14 Assignment: Problem 14.44**

**Context:**

At 20°C, water with a density (\(\rho_w\)) of 998.3 kg/m\(^3\) and a kinematic viscosity (\(\nu_w\)) of \(1.00 \times 10^{-6}\) m\(^2\)/s is pumped from a lake into a truck tank. This process uses a 50-mm-diameter galvanized iron pipe with a roughness (\(\epsilon\)) of 0.15 mm (refer to Figure 1). The pump performance curve is provided in Figure 2. The total pipe length is 50 meters.

**Problem Statement:**

**Part A**

Determine the maximum volumetric flow (\(Q_{\text{max}}\)) generated by the pump. Include the minor losses of the five elbows in your calculations.

- Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

\(Q_{\text{max}} =\) [Value] [Units]

[Submit Button]

**Graphical Explanation:**

**Figure 1: Illustration**

- The figure depicts a pump system setup. 
- Water is being drawn from a lake (left side) and pumped into a truck tank (right side).
- The vertical distance from the lake's surface to the highest point of the pipe is 8 meters.
- The illustration includes piping with several bends, indicating the presence of elbows that contribute to minor losses.

**Purpose:**

This exercise aims to teach the calculation of maximum volumetric flow in a system while taking into account real-life variables like pipe diameter, material roughness, and component losses.
