### 4.1.3. Specifying the Base Duty

Specify a rotational speed and a mass flow rate to define the base duty operating point.

The base duty operating point can be plotted in a performance map. In a performance map, this point appears as a hollow square symbol.

The base duty rotational speed and mass flow rate serve as reference values for speedline definitions.
