In case of a ____________ the energy of flow is considerably decreased downstream of the machine?
Correct answer: D. Turbine
- A. Blower
- B. Centrifugal fan
- C. Centrifugal pump
- D. Turbine
Explanation
A turbine extracts energy from the flowing fluid and converts it into shaft work, so the fluid energy is substantially lower after the machine. Pumps, blowers, and fans add energy to the fluid.
