Yes there is an optimum flow rate. Kind of! The heat pump manufacturer will post on the internet or in the users guide what the maximum and mimimum flow rate through his heat pump should be. I take it that the optimum then, is anywhere within that range. My pump manufacturer prescribes 20 GPM to 70 GPM for the heat pump I will be using. Too low a flow causes the heat pump to overheat. Too high a flow is hard on system components. dburr

How do you carry out optimal power flow for a ieee 30 bus system?

It depends on the program you are using. If you are using PSAT for academic study, then your data have to be in m-file after conversion from simulink. If you are using commercial program like NEPLAN, then your data have to be in nepprj file. A NEPLAN data can not be used in PSAT program unless you have a measn to do the conversion. to properly run optimal power flow (OPF), make sure your power (load) flow runs. Then input your objective functions on generator being used or load. The objective function is determined like a*P^2+b*P+c, where a, b, and c are constants and P is the real power being generated. Same applies to reactive power pricing. So, all you need do after you set up power flow is to model your objective function this way. Some programs also model objective function as volatage var or loss. But all has cost modeling also as objective function. With this set up, your OPF program will run. hope this answers your question.


How can the flow of storm water be controlled?

The flow can be controlled by using curb inlet filters or bags which can help direct the flow of water.


When is the speed of a fluid maximum in a venturi meter?

from the continuity equation A1v1 = A2v2 according to the continuity equation as the area decreases the velocity of the flow of the liquid increases and hence maximum velocity can be obtained at its throat
