Question:

A pump is used to remove water after a flood. Estimate the mass-specific work (kJ/kg) required to operate this pump, assuming the process is adiabatic and steady-flow. The water enters the pump at 0.0689 MPa and 292 K and leaves at 3.516 MPa. The temperature increase across the pump is 0.05 kelvins. Assume no changes in the kinetic or potential energies. Use NIST or other software to obtain water properties.
