Also known as FIV or cat AIDS, feline immunodeficiency virus is an infectious disease caused by a retrovirus belonging to the lentivirus family. It is in the same family as the feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and is similar to the HIV virus in humans. FIV infects both domesticated cats, lions, tigers, pumas and cheetahs.
This map only incorporates the wide-open throttle condition, but adding a third independent axis of throttle position can create a 3D performance map; it is noted that throttling directly affects efficiency via an inverse proportion, and maximum efficiency and minimum BSFC is realized at 100% throttle.
In the case of the motor it is the rotor and the stator and for the pump it is the impeller and the volute (or diffuser). Of course the friction produced by bearings and other mechanical components (seals, stuffing box, etc) also affect pump efficiency, but the impeller and volute have the greatest influence. Lets start our investigation of centrifugal pump efficiency with the impeller.
