Question

A centrifugal pump:

• A. flow is radially outwards in this pump
• B. fluid gain is through constant head
• C. flow is tangential in this pump
• D. works on the same principle as that of a Francis turbine

Answer 1

Answer:

A. flow is radially outwards in this pump

pump increases fluid pressure by imparting energy from an external prime mover to the impeller. The fluid gains kinetic energy and leaves the impeller radially, resulting in a flow that is radially outwards.
