Method&Equations

The pump is an isentropic process. The model determines the  pressure of the outlet flow. The brake horsepower required to pump the fluid to the specified  pressure is determined from the enthalpy difference and the pump efficiency. The motor efficiency is applied to determine the electrical energy required.
