High specific speed of a pump implies that, it is a/an _____________ pump?
Correct answer: C. Axial flow
- A. Centrifugal
- B. Mixed flow
- C. Axial flow
- D. None of these
Explanation
Pump specific speed rises as the pump handles greater flow relative to its head, progressing from centrifugal to mixed-flow and then axial-flow designs. Therefore, a high specific speed indicates an axial-flow pump.
