Water enters a pump at 350 kPa at a rate of 1 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a turbine in which the pressure is reduced and electricity is produced. The shaft power input to the pump is 1 KW snd the shaft power output the turbine is 1 kW. Both the pump and turbine are 90% efficient. If the elevation and velocity of the water remain constant through out the flow and irreversible headloss is 1 m, the pressure of water in kPa at the turbine exit is.

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
