Low specific speed of a pump implies that, it is a/an ______________ pump?
Correct answer: B. Centrifugal
- A. Axial flow
- B. Centrifugal
- C. Mixed flow
- D. None of these
Explanation
Low specific speed indicates a radial-flow, or centrifugal, pump. Axial-flow pumps have high specific speed, while mixed-flow pumps lie between the two.
