Question

Which of the following characteristics of a centrifugal?

• A. Slip will decrease with the increase in flow rate
• B. Fluid is considered to have friction while flowing inside the pump
• C. Fluid moves normal to the blade
• D. There will be no whirl component of velocity at the entry to impeller

Answer 1

Answer:

D. There will be no whirl component of velocity at the entry to impeller

A fundamental characteristic of a centrifugal pump is that when the fluid enters the impeller (the rotating component), it is typically flowing purely radially, which means it has no tangential or whirl component of velocity
