Converting Four Quadrant Raw Data to Fh and Fb (Suter)

[stanier]

I have some data provided as a graph of speed versus flow (n & Q) with constant head and torque lines thereon. I need to convert this to dimensionless values. The nomenclature in the literature is theta, Fh and Fb. Has anyone some references that I can use to make sure that I am on the right track with this subject.

I already have three of the four books and none cover the subject in the depth I need.

To close out this issue I used AFT's consulting service to do this for me. They did it over night and filled in some gaps for me also. Great service.
