For the transfer of solution of thick slurry, the pump used is a _____________ pump?
Correct answer: C. Diaphragm
- A. Reciprocating
- B. Gear
- C. Diaphragm
- D. Centrifugal
Explanation
A diaphragm pump handles thick, viscous and solids-containing slurries because its flexible diaphragm provides positive displacement without requiring close internal clearances. Centrifugal pumps are generally less suitable for very thick slurry service.
