Question 383General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the following terms is used to identify the pressure of a liquid entering a centrifugal pump?
ATotal head
BDischarge head
CPump head
DSuction head
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Suction head. The suction head refers to the pressure of the liquid entering the centrifugal pump. This is an important parameter in the operation of centrifugal pumps, as the suction head affects the pump's ability to draw in and lift the liquid. The other options, such as total head, discharge head, and pump head, refer to different aspects of the pump's performance, but do not specifically identify the pressure at the pump's inlet or suction side.
