Preliminary bench top pump performance curves for Prototype 5 at lower speeds of 5000 to 9000 rpm. Relationship between pressure and flow closely adheres to the affinity law, showing that a flow rate of ~5.7 L/min for 100 mmHg at a pump speed of 23,600 rpm and a flow rate of ~3.2 L/min for 100 mmHg at a pump speed of 20,300 rpm can be reached when the curve is extrapolated to the optimum pump speed.
