Sea water (p=1025 kg/m3) flows through a pump at 0.21 m3/s. The pump inlet is 0.25m in diameter. At the inlet the pressure is -0.15 in of mercury. The pump outlet, 0.152 m in diameter, is 1.8 m above the inlet. The outlet pressure is 175 kPa. If the inlet and outlet temperatures are equal, how much power does the pumo add to the fluid? Assume plug flow behavior (turbulent) and neglect friction losses in the pump.
