Working of a _______________ pump characterises mixed flow?
Correct answer: A. Turbine
- A. Turbine
- B. Piston
- C. Diaphragm
- D. None of these
Explanation
A turbine pump is designed with impeller flow having both radial and axial components, which is the defining feature of mixed flow. Piston and diaphragm pumps are positive-displacement pumps rather than mixed-flow turbomachines.
