Higher specific speed (200-500) of a centrifugal pump indicates that the pump is of ______________ flow type?
Correct answer: A. Axial
- A. Axial
- B. Radial
- C. Mixed
- D. None of these
Explanation
Low-specific-speed centrifugal pumps generally have radial flow, intermediate values indicate mixed flow, and high values indicate axial flow. A specific speed of 200 to 500 therefore indicates an axial-flow pump.
