    Thanks for the helpful answers. I think I know which direction to go next. Probably I should have said that the system works fine for a certain fluid but there are circumstances where a heavier, more viscous fluid needs to be pumped (at a lower flow rate if needed) and the company doesn't want...

The motor that is currently attached to the pump can deliver (as per its nameplate) only 60% of what the operating point requires. My question is: how can I calculate the...
