Abstract :
Often, the components of a pumping system are not selected from the perspective of the total system, as the individual components are selected using different programs. In this paper, a selection tool that optimizes the energy conversion efficiency of a pumping system according to actual process requirements is introduced. The tool requires only the catalog data of the components. Its application to an industrial pump system sizing, and thereby, to a component selection problem is demonstrated.
