Question: What is the discharge capacity of the reciprocating pump as compared to the centrifugal pump?
Options:
Unpredictable
Higher
Lower
Same
🔑 Key Points
→ Pumps convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
→ Pumps convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
📌 Important Points
→ There are two main types of pumps: Centrifugal Pumps and Reciprocating Pumps.
📝 Additional Information:
→ Centrifugal Pumps offer continuous and smooth discharge, handle large quantities of liquid, and are suitable for highly viscous liquids.
→ Reciprocating Pumps provide fluctuating discharge, handle small quantities of liquid, and are suitable for high-head applications with high efficiency.
