A mixed flow centrifugal pump_______________________?
Correct answer: D. Employs such an impeller, through which the flow is a combination of radial & axial flow
- A. Employs impellers in both the radial & axial directions
- B. Mixes the two fluids before pumping them
- C. Pumps the two fluids separately and then mixes them
- D. Employs such an impeller, through which the flow is a combination of radial & axial flow
Explanation
A mixed-flow pump combines the two principal flow patterns: fluid leaves the impeller with both radial and axial components. It does not mix two separate fluids or use separate radial and axial impellers.
