ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

An adiabatic pump is used to compress saturated liquid water in a reversible manner.

The work input is to be determined by different approaches.

Assumptions are

1. Steady operating conditions exist.

2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

3. Heat transfer to or from the fluid is negligible.
