    Flowrate Pressure
AI Thread Summary
Knowing the flow rate of a pump alone is insufficient to determine its pressure without a pump curve. A pump curve provides the necessary relationship between flow rate and pressure. If the pump curve is unavailable, the pressure cannot be accurately calculated. It is advisable to contact the pump manufacturer to obtain the required pump curve. Accurate pressure determination relies on having this critical data.

If we know the flowrate of a pump, is it possible to find out the pressure of the pump?

Yes...if you have a pump curve.

The problem is I don't have one

In that case you cannot find the pressure knowing only the flow rate of the pump.

Contact the manufacturer of the pump, they will give you one.

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
