Acceleration head in a reciprocating pump_______________________?
Correct answer: C. Does not change the work requirement of the pump
- A. Increases the work done during delivery stroke
- B. Decreases the work done during suction stroke
- C. Does not change the work requirement of the pump
- D. Increases the work done during suction stroke
Explanation
Acceleration head raises the required head during part of a stroke and lowers it during another part. Over a complete cycle these effects cancel, so the net pump work requirement is unchanged.
