Pump simulation

1 inlet -> 1 outlet (raises liquid pressure)

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a pump — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

W=F(PoutPin)ρηW = \frac{F\,(P_{out}-P_{in})}{\rho\,\eta}
W
shaft power [W]
F
molar flow [mol/s]
P
pressure [Pa]
\rho
molar density [mol/m^3]
\eta
pump efficiency

Parameters

outlet_pressure [Pa, > inlet] (or pressure_increase [Pa]); efficiency [default 0.75]. head_curve_points is reserved for a future mode='pressure_driven' resistance mode (not yet solved — schema-valid but not solvable in any mode today).
