In case of a centrifugal pump, the ratio of total delivered pressure to pressure developed with the impeller is called the _____________ efficiency?
Correct answer: A. Manometric
- A. Manometric
- B. Mechanical
- C. Volumetric
- D. Overall
Explanation
Manometric efficiency is the ratio of the pressure head actually delivered by the pump to the pressure head imparted to the liquid by the impeller. Mechanical efficiency instead compares impeller power with shaft power.
