The specific speed of a pump is defined as the speed of a unit of such a size, that it__________________?
Correct answer: A. Delivers unit discharge at unit head
- A. Delivers unit discharge at unit head
- B. Requires unit power for unit head
- C. Delivers unit discharge at unit power
- D. None of these
Explanation
Specific speed is the speed of a geometrically similar pump that would deliver unit discharge against unit head. It is a comparative pump parameter, not the speed for unit power.
