Correct
Q: At the very highest level, what are the two main types of pump?
A: Positive displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps
Correct
Q: Centrifugal pumps can be categorised into the following groups…
A: Radial flow, mixed flow, axial flow
Correct
Q: Are axial flow impellers used in closed pump designs?
A: No
Correct
Q: What does ‘NPSH’ stand for in the NPSH-curve?
A: Net positive suction head
Correct
Q: What makes mixed flow impellers different from axial flow impellers?
A: They subject the fluid to a degree of radial flow
Correct
Q: What is a main disadvantage of a centrifugal pump?
A: They cannot create suction by themselves
Correct
