The driving force for fluid flow is the pressure

Chapter 2, Problem 50P

(choose chapter or problem)

The driving force for fluid flow is the pressure difference, and a pump operates by raising the pressure of a fluid (by converting the mechanical shaft work to flow energy). A gasoline pump is measured to consume \(3.8 \mathrm{kW}\) of electric power when operating. If the pressure differential between the outlet and inlet of the pump is measured to be  \(7 \mathrm{kPa}\) and the changes in velocity and elevation are negligible, determine the maximum possible volume flow rate of gasoline.
