Effect of carbon based nanoadditives on external gear pump performance
… Pump inlet pressure, volumetric flow rate, and electric power consumption data were recorded over a range of pump discharge pressures. The power consumed by the motor at a given differential pump pressure was found to remain approximately constant for all additive concentrations. It was found …
