There is an optimal specific speed to reach maximum attainable efficiency that may vary depending on the pump design.
viscosity
Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids react differently to temperature, so they require different equipment.
Correction factors determine head and efficiency curves for the pump when handling viscous liquids.
