2. 20 marks: A centrifugal pump is located 15 meters above the surface of a tank that is filled with a hydrocarbon. The tank is open to the atmosphere and maintained at 25 deg C. The density of hydrocarbon is 900 kg/m3, while the vapour pressure of this hydrocarbon at 25 deg C is 4.5 kPa. Can you prove that this pump cannot pump the hydrocarbon even if it is fully primed?
