In this paper, the optimization of a gear pump after tooth root undercutting has been investigated; this requires the volumetric, mechanical and total efficiencies of the pump to be calculated. Due to conflict in the existing model, the total efficiency is often calculated with the assumption that the other efficiencies have acceptable values. Multiple-dimensional logical functions are an additional independent method that can be used for the optimization of a pump.
