Question 1
A linear wheel turning motion is called as a ________
A. Reciprocation
B. Rotation
C. Oscillation
D. Bicycle pump
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
A linear wheel turning motion is called as a rotational motion. It is linear motion that takes place along a circular section.
Question 2
A reciprocating pump that has 1200 crank is _________
A. Froth pump
B. Single acting
C. Double acting
D. Triple acting
View Answer
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
A reciprocating pump that has 1200 crank is triple acting or triple cylinder pump. Each cylinder in a reciprocating pump has it suction and delivery pipes. Thus, has a crank of 1200.
Question 3
A repetitive variation about the central value of equilibrium is called ________
A. Reciprocation
B. Oscillation
C. Filtration
D. Excavation
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
A repetitive variation about the central value of equilibrium is called as oscillation. It need not be linear.
Question 4
During the suction stroke the _______ moves left thus creating vacuum in the Cylinder.
A. Piston
B. Cylinder
C. Valve
D. Pump
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
During the suction stroke the piston moves left. Thus, a vacuum is created in the cylinder. This vacuum causes the suction valve to open and water enters the Cylinder.
Question 5
How many number of valves are required for the rotary pump?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
There are no valves required for a rotary pump. A rotary pump is the one in which the flow is continuous. Since, the flow is continuous, we do not require any valves.
Question 6
In reciprocating pumps, the chamber in which the liquid is trapped is a stationary cylinder that contains piston or cylinder
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In reciprocating pumps, the chamber in which the liquid is trapped is a stationary cylinder that contains piston or cylinder.
Question 7
Reciprocating pump is a type of ___________
A. Positive displacement pump
B. Bicycle pump
C. Multistage pumps
D. Centrifugal pumps
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Reciprocating pump is a type of positive displacement pump. The positive displacement pump includes piston pump, diaphragm and plunger pump.
Question 8
Reciprocating pump is divided into how many types, based on its cylinders?
A. 0
B. 5
C. 2
D. 3
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Based on the number of cylinders, the reciprocating pump is divided into five types. It is divided on the basis of cylinders as single, double, triple , duplex and quintuplex.
Question 9
Reciprocating pump works like a positive displacement pump.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Reciprocating pump works like a positive displacement pump. In reciprocating pumps, the chamber in which the liquid is trapped is a stationary cylinder that contains piston or cylinder.
Question 10
Reciprocating pumps has ____ efficiency compared to centrifugal pumps
A. Higher
B. Lower
C. Equal
D. Exponential
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Reciprocating pumps has lower efficiency compared to centrifugal pumps. They are generally just used for discharges at higher heads. Their main purpose is to pump water in hilly areas.
Question 11
Reciprocating pumps works on the principle of __________
A. Drag force
B. Liquid flow push
C. Shock waves
D. Flow speed
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Reciprocating pumps works on the principle of liquid flow push by a piston that reciprocates in a closed fitting cylinder.
Question 12
The maximum efficiency of the reciprocating pump is _________
A. 20
B. 50
C. 70
D. 85
View Answer
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Reciprocating pump is more favourable for small liquid quantities. As the chamber in the liquid is trapped, it has a stationary cylinder which contains a piston and a plunger. The maximum efficiency of the reciprocating pump is 85 percent.
Question 13
The two opposite motion that comprise a single reciprocation is called _________
A. Turbocharger
B. Stokes
C. Fluid motion
D. Auto motion
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Degree of reaction is most commonly used in turbomachinery. Degree of reaction is defined as the ratio of the static pressure drop in the rotor to the static pressure drop in the stage. It can also be defined in the same way for enthalpy in different stages. It is denoted by the letter ‘R’.
Question 14
When both the sources are effective it is called as __________
A. Double acting pump
B. Single acting pump
C. Triple acting pump
D. Normal pump
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
When both the sources are effective it is called as double acting centrifugal pump. The pumping unit consists of piston and cylinder.
