A centrifugal pump compresses 3000 liters/min of water from 98 kPa to 300 kPa.
The inlet and outlet temperatures are 25°C. The inlet and discharge piping are on
the same level, but the diameter of the inlet piping is 15 cm, whereas that of the
discharge piping is 10 cm. Determine the pump power in kilowatts.
