Figure provides steady-state operating data for a pump drawing water from a reservoir and delivering it at a pressure of 3 bar to a storage tank perched 15 m above the reservoir. The power input to the pump is 0.52 kW. The water temperature remains nearly constant at 15°C, there is no significant change in kinetic energy from inlet to exit, and heat transfer between the pump and its surroundings is negligible. Let g = 9.81 m/s.
