a)

centrifugal force

b)

positive displacement

c)

vacuum

d)

negative displacement

2.

Type of a centrifugal pump that borrows characteristics from both radial flow and axial flow pumps.

a)

Radial Flow Pump

b)

Mixed Flow Pump

c)

Axial Flow Pump

3.

It is a type of pump casing design that has an offset impeller creating a curved funnel with an increasing cross-sectional area towards the pump outlet which causes the fluid pressure to increase towards the outlet.

a)

vortex

b)

volute

c)

diffuser

d)

rotary

4.

It is used for a wide variety of industrial applications thanks to their increased efficiency and ability to pump fluids at higher pressures.

a)

Multistage centrifugal pumps

b)

Single stage pump

c)

Circulator pump

5.

It is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump that accelerates fluid outward from the center of rotation, thus transferring energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped.

a)

Impeller

b)

Coupling

c)

Shaft

d)

Stuffing Box
