Reciprocating pumps compared to centrifugal pumps

A

Deliver liquid at uniform pressure

B

Can handle slurries more efficiently

C

Are not subject to air binding

D

Can be operated with delivery valve closed

Reciprocating pumps are no more to be seen in industrial applications (in comparison to centrifugal pumps) because of

A

High initial and maintenance cost

B

Lower discharge

C

Lower speed of operation

D

Necessity of air vessel

Reciprocating pumps are not able to compete with the centrifugal pump for industrial use, mainly because these pumps have

A

B

Smaller discharge

C

Higher capital &maintenance cost

D

High vibrations

A

$${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\sin \theta $$

B

$${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\cos \theta $$

C

$${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\frac{{\sin 2\theta }}{{\text{n}}}$$
