Answer the following question with True of False:

1- The standard atmospheric pressure, (at sea level and 15 oC), is:
1 bar (105 Pa or 105 N/m2) or 760 mm Hg or 10.3 m of H2O or 14.7 psi
( )

2- Newtonian and Non-newtonian fluids follow Newton's law of

viscosity and are represented by the equation (dV / dy )
( )
3-Pumps and compressors are power producing machines.
( )
4-Single type of pump impellers is used for single stage pumps.
( )
5- In centrifugal pumps, the key idea is that the energy created by
the centrifugal force is pressure force.
( )
6-The pump total head is calculated from the difference between
the readings on the pressure gauges attached to the suction and
discharge lines.
( )
7-The system resistance or system head curve represents the
relationship in a graphic form between flow characteristics and
hydraulic losses in a system.
( )
8-The intersection point of system resistance head curve and the
pump performance cure is called the best efficiency point of the
pump.
( )

9-A very famous formula, which is used very often, is Darcy equation
that may be written in the form: h

f l v2
2g d

l v2
d 2g

( )
10-Gear Pumps are classified as rotodynamic machines.

( )

11-Screw Pump is used to reduce the level of wastewater.

( )
12-Wear ring provides an easily and economically renewable leakage
joint between the impeller and the casing. If the clearance becomes
too large the pump efficiency will be increased causing higher head.
( )
13- A major source of internal induced vibration is misalignment
between the pump and its driver.
( )
14- The vertical distance between the liquid level in the suction sump
and pump centreline is called the total static head.
( )

15- In general there are two basic requirements that have to be met
at all the times for a trouble free operation and longer service life
of centrifugal pumps. The first requirement is that cavitation of the
pump occurs throughout the broad operating range and the second
requirement is that a certain maximum continuous flow is always
maintained during operation.
