A differential thermocouple with sensors at the inlet and exit of a pump indicates that the temperature of water rises

Question:

A differential thermocouple with sensors at the inlet and exit of a pump indicates that the temperature of water rises 0.048°F as it flows through the pump at a rate of 1.5 ft3/s. If the shaft power input to the pump is 23 hp and the heat loss to the surrounding air is negligible, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.
