The pump flow will establish itself extremely rapidly.

The response of pump speed to changes in

power input and output will also be rapid, of the order of a few seconds at most, but it may be
essential to model this response, for instance if the model is to be used to design a pump speed-
control system. Further, it may be desirable to use the numerical decoupling that including the
additional state, namely pump speed, allows. This assumes particular notation between two
alternatives
