Question:

A geothermal pump is used to pump brine whose density is 1050 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.3 m3/s from a depth of 200 m. For a pump efficiency of 74 percent, determine the required power input to the pump. Disregard frictional losses in the pipes, and assume the geo ther mal water at 200 m depth to be exposed to the atmosphere.
