Question 300General Subjects - QMED
70% to passThe suction-force principle of operation is a typical characteristic of _______________.
Acentrifugal pumps
Bjet pumps
Creciprocating pumps
Dpropeller pumps
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) reciprocating pumps. The suction-force principle of operation is a typical characteristic of reciprocating pumps, which use a piston or diaphragm to create a vacuum that draws fluid into the pump. This suction-force principle is what allows reciprocating pumps to efficiently move fluids, making them a common choice for various applications. The other answer choices, centrifugal pumps, jet pumps, and propeller pumps, do not rely on the suction-force principle for their operation. Instead, they use different mechanisms, such as centrifugal force, momentum exchange, and propeller rotation, respectively, to move fluids.
