A pump operating at steady state receives 2.7 kg/s of liquid water at 50oC, 1.5 MPa. The pressure of the water at the pump exit is 15 MPa. The magnitude of the work required by the pump is 42 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.
