Problem:

A pump delivers 4 𝑚3 /𝑚𝑖𝑛 of water from 110 kPa to 350 kPa. Both pipes’ gages are on
the same level. The inlet and the outlet pipe diameters are 16 cm and 13 cm
respectively. The inlet and outlet temperature are both 25 deg C and the mass density
of water is 997 𝑘𝑔⁄𝑚3 . Calculate the pump work in kW.
