Water is pumped from 100 to 3000 kilopascals. Taking its specific volume as 0.001 cubic metres per kilogram, what is the ideal pump work?

  • A.29 kilojoules per kilogram
  • B.0.29 kilojoules per kilogram
  • C.3.1 kilojoules per kilogram
  • D.2.9 kilojoules per kilogram

Answer: D

For an incompressible liquid the reversible work is the specific volume times the pressure rise, which is two thousand nine hundred kilopascals times one thousandth of a cubic metre. That is why pump work is small beside turbine work in a steam cycle.
