Pumps and Pumping

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about pump which is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic energy and pumps further can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps and pumping
