Slurries can be most conveniently pumped by a _______________ pump?
Correct answer: A. Centrifugal
- A. Centrifugal
- B. Reciprocating
- C. Gear
- D. Screw
Explanation
Centrifugal pumps are commonly used for slurries because they can handle large flow rates and suspended solids with relatively simple, robust construction. Small-clearance pumps such as gear pumps are more liable to wear or clog.
