Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Cumulative Erosion Damage Factor = 0
- Volumetric Solids Concentration = 0
- Particle-to-Impeller Hardness Ratio = 0
Expected Result:
- Flow Capacity Degradation = 0
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Flow Capacity Degradation = 0 dimensionless.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
flow capacity degradation = 1.0 - pow(1.0 - cumulative erosion damage factor, 0.85) * pow(1.0 - volumetric solids concentration, 0.32) * pow(1.0 - particle-to-impeller hardness ratio, 0.18)Formula family: formula_pump_pump_slurry_flow_capacity_degradation_estimator
