Correct
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: Cavitation can occur when water is flowing in a pipe and a valve is closed too quickly.
Correct
Q: Friction loss is dependent on the [xxxxxxxx] of the fluid.
A: Velocity
Correct
Q: Identify the reasons for reduction in pump performance from the given options:
A: Bad power supply
Correct
Q: Which of the following is one correct method to avoid cavitation?
A: Reduce the friction loss in the suction pipe.
Correct
Q: What are the effects of cavitation on pumps?
A: Pitting of impeller and pump housing
Correct
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: If all the parameters are recorded immediately after the pump has been installed, you can use them as benchmark against future data.
