Pump Efficiency

This document discusses the efficiencies of a pump system. It defines key terms like theoretical flow rate, real flow rate, differential pressure, torque, and rotation speed. It shows the relationships between hydraulic efficiency, mechanical efficiency, electrical efficiency, drive efficiency, and overall pump efficiency. Losses are shown that reduce efficiencies at each stage, from hydraulic losses to mechanical friction to electrical losses in the drive system. The overall pump efficiency is defined as the product of the mechanical efficiency and hydraulic efficiency.
