Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate ideal and actual outlet flow, hydraulic power, shaft-input power, and theoretical input torque from a pump displacement, speed, pressure, and efficiencies.

Qideal = Vd·n; Qdeclared = ηvQideal; Phyd = ΔpQ/600; Pin = Phyd/ηo; Ttheory = ΔpVd/(2π)

When

  • Positive displacement
  • Steady state
  • User-entered efficiencies
  • No relief/line losses

Don’t

  • This is a steady positive-displacement pump screen using user-entered displacement, pressure, and efficiencies. It does not select a pump, motor, drive, relief setting, fluid, line, reservoir, cooling method, or rating; model cavitation, leakage beyond the declared efficiency, pressure ripple, heat balance, transient load, or component/system safety; or approve a fluid-power system.
