A pump is being used to transfer water from one tank to another. Each tank has air pressure above the water, the tank on the left is at 57.65 kPa and the tank on the right is 447.10 kPa. Assume that the level of the surface in each tank is the same. Required If 2140 L/min is being pumped, calculate the power delivered by the pump to the water in kW, to the nearest 100th.
