Consider water pumped at a rate of 75 gal/min through a pipe which undergoes a 100 ft elevation increase by a 2 hp pump. The rate energy input from the pump that goes into heating the water is approximately equal to the rate of energy input from the pump minus the rate of potential energy generated by pumping the water up the elevation change (m'gh, where m' is the mass flow rate of water and h is the elevation change). Estimate the rate of energy input for heating the water for this case in British thermal units per hour.
