    D Mones
    This document contains the results of Experiment 4: Gear Pump Performance Test. It includes data tables showing measurements of suction and delivery pressure, volume flow rate, electric and hydraulic power, and efficiency at two different pump speeds. Plots of hydraulic power vs efficiency for each speed are also presented. Sections for sample computations, findings/analysis, conclusion, and questions about gear pumps are included but not filled in. The purpose of the experiment was to characterize the performance of a gear pump.
