public class Pump extends TwoPortEquipment implements PumpInterface, CapacityConstrainedEquipment, AutoSizeable
Centrifugal pump simulation model for process systems.

This class simulates a centrifugal pump using either:

  • Isentropic compression with specified outlet pressure and efficiency
  • Manufacturer pump curves via PumpChart for realistic performance

Key Features

  • Pump Curves: Support for head, efficiency, and NPSH curves with affinity law scaling
  • Density Correction: Automatic head correction when pumping fluids different from chart test fluid
  • NPSH Monitoring: Cavitation detection based on available vs required NPSH
  • Operating Status: Surge, stonewall, and efficiency monitoring

Usage Example

// Simple usage with outlet pressure
Pump pump = new Pump("MainPump", feedStream);
pump.setOutletPressure(10.0, "bara");
pump.setIsentropicEfficiency(0.75);
pump.run();

// With manufacturer pump curves
double[] speed = {1000.0, 1500.0};
double[][] flow = {{10, 20, 30}, {15, 30, 45}};
double[][] head = {{100, 95, 85}, {225, 214, 191}};
double[][] efficiency = {{70, 80, 75}, {72, 82, 77}};
double[] chartConditions = {18.0, 298.15, 1.0, 1.0, 998.0}; // Include ref density
pump.getPumpChart().setCurves(chartConditions, speed, flow, head, efficiency);
pump.getPumpChart().setHeadUnit("meter");
pump.setSpeed(1200.0);
pump.run();
