Chapter 1.6, Problem 15E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To determine the flow work added to a system by a fluid.

Concept introduction:

Flow work added to the system is equal to the product of pressure and volumetric flow rate of the fluid.

The flow work $\left(W\right)$ added to a system by a fluid.

$W=\dot{V}P$

Here, volumetric flow rate of water is $\dot{V}$ and pressure is P.
