The pressure of a liquid leaving the pump can be referred to as the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) discharge head.
The pressure of a liquid leaving the pump is referred to as the discharge head. This is the pressure at the outlet or discharge side of the pump, which is the relevant measurement for determining the performance and output of the pump.
The other answer choices are not correct. Suction head (A) refers to the pressure at the inlet or suction side of the pump, not the discharge side. Net positive suction head (B) is a separate measure related to the pressure required to avoid cavitation at the pump inlet. Total head (D) is the sum of the suction head and the discharge head, not the discharge head alone.
