The slip factor is a term used in various fields, but it is most commonly associated with fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. It refers to the difference between the theoretical performance of a pump, fan, or aerodynamic surface (like an airplane wing) and its actual performance due to losses caused by various factors. ### In Pump and Turbomachinery Context: In the context of pumps and turbines, the slip factor is defined as the ratio of the actual flow rate to the theoretical flow rate.
