Question 270General Subjects - QMED
70% to passWhich of the pumping systems listed for use aboard ship will most likely use a propeller type pump?
AFuel oil service booster system
BFluid power transmission system
CSteering gear system
DMain circulating system
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Main circulating system. The main circulating system aboard a ship typically uses a propeller-type pump to circulate the water through the main condensers and auxiliary equipment. This type of pump is well-suited for the high flow rates and relatively low pressure requirements of the main circulating system. The other options are not as likely to use a propeller-type pump. Fuel oil service booster systems and fluid power transmission systems often utilize positive displacement pumps, while steering gear systems may use gear pumps or vane-type pumps to meet their specific pressure and flow demands.
