Question:
Water enters a pump at 350 kPa at a rate of 1 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a turbine in which the pressure is reduced and electricity is produced. The shaft power input to the pump is 1 kW and the shaft power output from the turbine is 1 kW. Both the pump and turbine are 90 percent efficient. If the elevation and velocity of the water remain constant throughout the flow and the irreversible head loss is 1 m, the pressure of water at the turbine exit is
(a) 350 kPa
(b) 100 kPa
(c) 173 kPa
(d) 218 kPa
(e) 129 kPa
