Question 271General Subjects - QMED
70% to passWhich type of pump would normally be used to transfer fairly large quantities of fluids at relatively low pressures?
Agear type
Breciprocating type
Cscrew type
Dpropeller type
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) propeller type. Propeller-type pumps are typically used to transfer large quantities of fluids at relatively low pressures. These pumps use an impeller with vanes or blades that rotate and create a flow of fluid. They are well-suited for applications that require high flow rates, such as transferring water, fuel, or other low-viscosity liquids. In contrast, the other pump types mentioned (gear, reciprocating, and screw) are better suited for applications that require higher pressures or the handling of more viscous fluids.
