\frac{dm}{dt}=15\frac{kg}{s}                                    loss \rightarrow10% \thereforeefficiency =90

\frac{P_{out}}{P_{input}}=\eta =\frac{90}{100}

P_{output}=\eta P_{input}

              =0.9\times \left ( \frac{dmgh}{dt} \right )

              =0.9\times 15\times 10\times 60

               P_{output}=8.1kW
