Pump energy at different fluid temperatures
Pump energy at different fluid temperatures
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to figure out the relationship between temperature of the pumped fluid and the amount of power the pump uses. I know that when the temperature is lower the kin vicosity will be higher which will make pumping harder, but is there any sort of table that shows this or formula i can use to figure something out? even a ballpark figure would be fine.
thanks.
