Question

Centrifugal pumps dealing with muds have an impeller of the type

• A. Open
• B. Double suction
• C. One-side shrouded
• D. Two-sides shrouded

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Open

Centrifugal pumps dealing with muds require an open impeller as it is designed to handle abrasive liquids such as water, sand, pebbles, muds, and clay with solid contents up to 25%. Closed impellers are meant for clear water, hot water, and acids only, while semi-open impellers are used for industrial pump problems that require a rugged pump to handle liquids containing fibrous material.
