Hi
I am analyzing a centrifugal pump to find out the maximum mass flow rate for a given pressure drop. For this my customer gave me a input as

Total Pressure drop as 2.0 bar.
Inlet Total pressure as 0.9 bar.
Rotation speed as 5000 rpm

I am using MRF and I am specifying a rotation speed of 5000 rpm for my rotating domain. My problem is how can I specify my inlet and outlet boundary condition.

The pressure inlet that we are specifying at the inlet in fluent is total pressure and the pressure that we are specifying at the outlet is Static pressure.

If I am giving a total pressure at the inlet as 0.9 bar, how can I specify the pressure at the outlet?

Thanks in advance.
