A special type of liquid transporting device is the diffuser pump, in which _____________ are minimised?
Correct answer: C. Shock losses
- A. Bearing losses
- B. Disk friction
- C. Shock losses
- D. Cavitation
Explanation
A diffuser pump uses diffuser vanes to recover pressure from the impeller discharge smoothly. This reduces the change in flow direction and consequently minimises shock losses.
