The impeller of a centrifugal pump has inner and outer diameters of 14 and 37cm, respectively, and a flow rate of 0.18m3/s at a rotational speed of 1200rpm. The blade width of the impeller is 8.6cm at the inlet and 3.5cm at the outlet. If water enters the impeller in the radial direction and exits at an angle of 60° from the radial direction, determine the minimum power requirement for the pump.

The minimum power requirement is ___ [Num]kW.
