Question 386General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passA pump is defined as a device that _______________.
Aimparts energy to a fluid to move it from point "A" to point "B"
Bcreates a vacuum to move a liquid in all installations
Cproduces pressure
Dis to develop a pressure differential
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) imparts energy to a fluid to move it from point "A" to point "B". A pump is a mechanical device that transfers energy to a fluid, causing it to move from one location to another. By imparting energy to the fluid, the pump overcomes resistance such as friction and gravity, allowing the fluid to be transported from the initial point to the desired destination. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately define the primary function of a pump, which is to actively move a fluid rather than just create a vacuum, produce pressure, or develop a pressure differential.
