1 Identity-Giving FunctionFunção Identitária
Function class
PumpingFunction ⊑ DesignedFunction
Realized in
PumpingProcess ⊑ PlannedProcess
All sources identify eductor as a type of pump that moves fluids. The generic PumpingFunction already exists in the enriched classes and captures the fundamental fluid-moving purpose shared with other pump types.
2 Genus DeterminationDeterminação do Gênero
Pumpbfo:Object (BFO_0000030)
ISO 15926 explicitly states 'EDUCTOR is a PUMP'. The parent candidates include PUMP which is already enriched in our ontology. Pump is the most specific appropriate superclass - more specific than the generic Assembly but captures the shared pumping function with other pump types.
3 Differentia SpecificaDiferença Específica
∃hasPart.MotiveFluidNozzle ⊓ ∃hasPart.VenturaThroat ⊓ ∃participatesIn.JetEntrainmentProcess

Has a motive fluid nozzle and Ventura throat, and participates in a jet entrainment process where high-pressure motive fluid creates suction to entrain the pumped fluid.

The differentia captures the unique jet-based mechanism that distinguishes eductors from all other pump types. The motive fluid nozzle creates the high-pressure jet, the Ventura throat creates the low-pressure zone, and the jet entrainment process describes the specific fluid dynamics that enable pumping without rotating or reciprocating parts.

TransformationTransformação
momentum transfer from high-pressure motive fluid to low-pressure pumped fluid via jet entrainment
Eductors require two distinct fluid inputs (motive and pumped) and produce a single mixed output, distinguishing them from single-input pumps like centrifugal or positive displacement types.
Disjoint WithDisjunto com
CentrifugalPump PositiveDisplacementPump
C1: CentrifugalPump, PositiveDisplacementPump. Incompatible pumping mechanisms - jet entrainment cannot simultaneously operate via rotating impeller or volumetric displacement principles
