Water at 90C is being pumped from a large storage tank at 1 atm abs at a rate of 0.189 m3/min by a pump. The motor that drives the pump supplies energy to the pump at a rate of 2 hp. The water pumped through a heat exchanger, where it gives up 700 kW of heat and is then delivered to a large open storage tank at an elevation of 20 m above the first tank. What is the final temperature of the water to the second tank? Neglect kinetic energy.
