An electric motor provides 6 kW to a water pump. Water enters the pump at 1500 L/m and 95 kPa through a pipe of diameter 20 cm and exits at 250 kPa through a pipe of diameter 14 cm. Estimate the mechanical efficiency of the pump from these measurements. What happens to the energy that is not converted to useful pressure or kinetic energy?
