Water enters an isentropic pump at 10°C and 120 kPa, and exits at 2 MPa. The flow rate of the water is 8 kg/s. (a) If the isentropic efficiency of the pump is 0.65, determine the power consumed by the pump. (b) Plot the power consumed and the entropy generation rate for isentropic efficiencies ranging from 0.40 to 1.0.
