Pipe and Pump Operating Point Demo

This is a demonstration application file that illustrates how to combine a mathematical model for a pump curve (third order polynomial) with a piping system connected to it. The operating point is the head and flow combination where the head developed by the pump exactly matches the head loss of the piping system. Easy to understand, hard to determine that (H, Q) pair.

This file is not totally generic. It illustrates the characterization of a specific pump (pump curve shown) and a specific piping system. The user can use this tool using Save As... but care must be taken to adapt the example problem to a specific project.
