Pump Efficiency
Pump efficiency is the ratio of the power delivered by the pump to the total power input to the pump.
Under ideal conditions of frictionless flow, the efficiency of a pump is 100%. Actual pumps, because of friction and other departures from perfection, fall considerably short of the ideal case.
The pump efficiency is 100%, by default. You can change this value if desired.
Alternatively, instead of entering a value for pump efficiency, the numeric value may be referenced using the Define system relative to any available unit operation or stream parameter calculated elsewhere in the simulation. See Pump Parameters Available for Cross-Referencing for more details.
