Explain the difference between centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps.
Centrifugal pumps have a fixed amount of fluid output, while positive displacement pumps can vary output based on speed.
Centrifugal pumps are more energy-efficient than positive displacement pumps due to their design.
Centrifugal pumps use reciprocating motion to move fluid, while positive displacement pumps use centrifugal force.
Centrifugal pumps convert rotational kinetic energy into fluid energy, while positive displacement pumps move fluid by trapping a fixed amount and forcing it through the system.
The pump discharge pressure (PDP) is the total pressure needed to overcome all friction, appliance, and elevation loss while maintaining adequate ____ pressure to deliver effective fire streams.
