Water enters a pump at 300 K and 150 kPa and exits at 200 kPa with a flow rate of 3.5 kg/s. Estimate the shaft power required to pump the water at these conditions. Neglect all friction and heat-transfer effects. Assume the temperature of the water at the exit is approximately 300 K and regard the water as incompressible.
