A pump operating at steady state receives 1.5 kg/s of liquid water at 50oC, 1.5 MPa. The pressure of the water at the pump exit is 14 MPa. The magnitude of the work required by the pump is 25.2 kW. Stray heat transfer and changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible. Determine the work required by a reversible pump operating with the same conditions, in kW, and the isentropic pump efficiency.

Water flows through a shower head steadily at a rate of 8 kg/min. The water is heated in an electric water heater from 158C to 458C. In an attempt to conserve energy, it is proposed to pass the drained warm water at a temperature of 388C through a heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water. Design a heat exchanger that is suitable for this task, and discuss the potential savings in energy and money for your area.
