An adiabatic pump on the ground floor of a building sends 0.25 kg/s of liquid water (ρ = 1000 kg/m^3) to a tap (faucet) on the third floor of the building, 10 m above. The water pressure as it exits the faucet is the same as the atmosphere, 100 kPa. The water pressure immediately before entering the pump is 110 kPa. The faucet diameter is 2 cm. Before entering the pump, the water has negligible velocity. g = 9.8 m/s^2.
(a) Find the outlet velocity of the water from the faucet
(b) Find the shaft power that the pump supplies to the water.

## Given Data
| Symbol | Meaning | Value |
| :------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------- |
| \(\dot{m}\) | mass flow rate | \(0.25\ \text{kg/s}\) |
| \(\rho\) | density of water | \(1000\ \text{kg/m}^3\) |
| \(P_1\) | pressure before pump | \(110\ \text{kPa} = 110{,}000\ \text{Pa}\) |
| \(P_2\) | pressure at faucet exit | \(100\ \text{kPa} = 100{,}000\ \text{Pa}\) |
| \(z_2 - z_1\) | height difference | \(10\ \text{m}\) |
| \(D_2\) | faucet diameter | \(2\ \text{cm} = 0.02\ \text{m}\) |
| \(g\) | gravitational acceleration | \(9.8\ \text{m/s}^2\) |
| Flow type | Steady, incompressible, adiabatic | - |

## (a) Find the outlet velocity \(v_2\)
### Step 1: Cross-sectional area at faucet
\[
A_2 = \frac{\pi D_2^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.02)^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times 0.0004}{4} \approx 3.142 \times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2
\]
### Step 2: Velocity at faucet
\[
v_2 = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho A_2} = \frac{0.25}{1000 \times 3.142 \times 10^{-4}} \approx 0.796\ \text{m/s}
\]
### **Final answer:**
\[
\boxed{v_2 \approx 0.80\ \text{m/s}}
\]
---
## (b) Find the shaft power supplied by the pump
### Step 1: Apply Bernoulli's equation with pump work
\[
\frac{P_1}{\rho g} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 + \frac{W_{\text{pump}}}{g} = \frac{P_2}{\rho g} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2
\]
Rearranged for \(W_{\text{pump}}\):
\[
W_{\text{pump}} = \left( \frac{P_2 - P_1}{\rho} \right) + \frac{v_2^2 - v_1^2}{2} + g (z_2 - z_1)
\]
Assuming \(v_1 \approx 0\):
\[
W_{\text{pump}} = \frac{100{,}000 - 110{,}000}{1000} + \frac{(0.796)^2}{2} + 9.8 \times 10
\]
### Step 2: Calculate each term
- Pressure difference term:
\[
\frac{-10{,}000}{1000} = -10\ \text{J/kg}
\]
- Velocity term:
\[
\frac{(0.796)^2}{2} = \frac{0.634}{2} = 0.317\ \text{J/kg}
\]
- Height difference term:
\[
9.8 \times 10 = 98\ \text{J/kg}
\]
### Step 3: Total work per unit mass
\[
W_{\text{pump}} = -10 + 0.317 + 98 = 88.317\ \text{J/kg}
\]
### Step 4: Power supplied by the pump
\[
\dot{W} = \dot{m} \times W_{\text{pump}} = 0.25 \times 88.317 \approx 22.1\ \text{W}
\]
### **Final answer:**
\[
\boxed{\dot{W}_{\text{pump}} \approx 22.1\ \text{W}}
\]
