When the momentum of one fluid is used for moving another fluid, such a device is called a/an______________?
Correct answer: D. Jet pump
- A. None of these
- B. Blower
- C. Acid egg
- D. Jet pump
Explanation
A jet pump uses a high-velocity motive fluid to transfer momentum to and entrain another fluid, thereby moving it. A blower adds energy mechanically rather than primarily using one fluid’s momentum.
