# Industrial Specification: Pump Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
The core mechanical assembly responsible for fluid movement within a water pump system

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-15 bar differential pressure, 5-85°C fluid temperature, 500-3600 RPM rotational speed**. Failure boundary: **Cavitation occurs at NPSHa &lt; NPSHr + 0.5m, bearing failure at &gt;120°C lubricant temperature, shaft deflection &gt;0.1mm at coupling**, Mechanism: **Cavitation from vapor bubble collapse at low NPSH causing pitting erosion (Bernoulli principle), bearing seizure from lubricant thermal breakdown at Arrhenius rate doubling per 10°C rise, shaft fatigue from alternating stress exceeding S-N curve endurance limit**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.
