A steady-state, steady flow thermodynamic system receives 100 lbm/min of a fluid at 30 psia and 200F and discharges it from a point 80 ft above the entrance section at 150 psia and 600F. The fluid enters with a velocity of 7,200 fpm and leaves with a velocity of 2,400 fpm. During this process, there are supplied 25,000 Btu/hr of heat from an external source, and the increase in enthalpy is 2.0 Btu/lb. 

Determine the work done in horsepower.
