IND-PTP - An Introduction to Pumps

The video tutorial explains the function and classification of pumps, focusing on dynamic and positive displacement pumps. Dynamic pumps use centrifugal or axial motion to move liquids, while positive displacement pumps use rotary or reciprocating motion to displace a specific amount of fluid. The concept of slip, which is the fluid leakage past internal clearances, is discussed, highlighting its impact on pump efficiency. Safety measures, such as the use of relief valves, are emphasized to prevent damage. The tutorial concludes with an invitation for feedback.

What is slip in the context of pumps, and why is it significant?

What happens to fluid pressure in a positive displacement pump when the discharge is closed?
