Water enters the pump of a steam power plant as saturated liquid at 20 kPa at a rate of 48 kg/s and exits at 6 MPa. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies and assuming the process to be reversible, determine the power input to the pump. Use steam tables. The power input to the pump is
