% specify contants
rho = 998 % in kg/m3
D = 0.021 % in m
g = 9.81

Q_m3_per_s = Q_L_per_min./60000 % convert Q from L/min to m3/s

DP_Pa = DP_mbar.*100 % convert pressure drop from mbar to Pa
A = pi*D^2/4; % calculate cross section area of pipe (in m2)
h = DP_Pa/(rho*g) % calculate pump head in m

EP = 8.075e-3.*(Q_L_per_min).^2+5.616e-2.*Q_L_per_min +17.35 % calculate electrical

power from expirical formula in W
efficiency = Q_m3_per_s.*DP_Pa./EP*100 % calculate efficiency in %
eff = max(efficiency);
