What are Pump classifications?

DYNAMIC

DISPLACEMENT

*Classification of DYNAMIC pump

A-according to impeller shape:

1-radial flow 2-axial flow 3-mixed flow 4-regenrative

B-according to mechanical design:

1-centrifugal 2-regenrative 3-special effect

C-according to casing design:

1-volute casing

2-diffuser casing (deep well turbine pump)

*Classification of DISPLACEMENT pumps

1-Rotary pumps

2-Reciprocating

Rotary include: (vane, lobe, screw, flexible member, piston)

Reciprocating include: (steam, power, controlled volume)

What's NPSH?
Is the measurement of liquid pressure at the suction end of a pump. Insufficient NPSH
can cause Cavitation to the pumps. To avoid cavitations, NPSHA must be equal to or
exceed the NPSHR.

What's cavitation?
Cavitation is the formation of vapour bubbles of a flowing liquid in a region where
the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapor pressure

What are Modes of heat transfer?

Convention, conduction and radiation

What are types of gears?

1-spur gears
4-Internal gears

2-Bevel gears
5-Rack and Pinion

3-Worm and wormwheel

6-Helical gear

What are the types of pump impellers?

1-Open type 2-Closed type 3- Semi open

?Mention 4 types of pumps

Centrifugal pump
Rotary Vane
Piston
Gear

Draw Rankin cycle

What are the classes of fire?

Class A Ordinary combustibles, (e.g. trash, wood, paper, cloth)
Class B Flammable liquids and Flammable gases, (e.g. oils, grease,
tar, gasoline, paints, thinners)
Class C Electrical equipment,

Class D Combustible metals (e.g. magnesium, titanium)

Class K Cooking oil or fat.

What are the extinguishing agents for each

class?
Class (A)
Water; chemical foam; dry chemical
Class (B)
Carbon dioxide (CO2); halon; dry chemical; aqueous film forming foam (AFFF)
Class (C)
CO2; halon; dry chemical

Class (D)
Dry powder

What is the function of jokey pump?

Jokey pumps are for to keep the fire water network always pressurized these pumps
always running and keep the system running and maintain system pressure around 7-8
bar

Draw the centrifugal pump characteristic

curves?
Performance curve

System curve

What is the centrifugal pump operating

principle?
The purpose of centrifugal pump is to convert energy of prime mover(electric motor
or turbine) first into velocity or kinetic energy and then into pressure energy of fluid
that is being pumped
The energy changes occur by virtue of two main parts of pump the impeller and
volute or diffuser. The impeller is the rotating part that converts driver energy into
kinetic energy and diffuser or volute is the stationary part that converts kinetic energy
into pressure energy.

?Define the Dew point

The temperature at which a vapor begins to condense

Mention 3 types of temperature measuring

device explain one
Thermometer-thermocouple-RTD Resistance temperature detectors
Thermocouple is a junction between two different metals that produces a voltage
related to a temperature difference. Such as copper constantan thermocouple

What's the relation between CELSIUS and

?FEHRNHIT
Tc= (5/9) (tf-32)

What are resolution and accuracy in

?measuring device

Resolution means the smallest increment or step that can be taken or seen
Accuracy of a system refers to how much the system, deviates from the truth

?Mention 3 types of flanges

Weld neck
Slip-on
Blind
Threaded
Lap join

?What does this Symbol mean E7018

E Electrode

70,000 pounds of tensile strength

1 Can be welded in any position

8 a low-hydrogen iron powder type electrode

What is flywheel and what's the purpose of

using it?
A flywheel is a mechanical device with a significant
moment of inertia used as a storage device for rotational
energy. Which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when
a fluctuating torque is exerted on it.

What is gear pump and what are the

advantages of using it?
Gear pump are appropriate for pumping relatively high pressures and low capacities.
Advantages:
1- The ability to handle a wide range of viscosities,
2- Less sensitivity to cavitation (than centrifugal style pumps),
3-relatively simple to maintain and rebuild.

What is sensor, mention 4 types?

A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal
which can be read by an observer or by an instrument
Pressure-temperature-speed-humidity-light-distance

?Write down the 3 laws of thermodynamics

1-Energy or matter can neither be created nor destroyed
2-it is impossible to obtain a process where the unique effect is the subtraction of a
positive heat from a reservoir and the production of a positive work.
3-all processes cease as temperature approaches absolute zero. This is the temperature
at which molecules cease movement, cease producing kinetic energy. In other words,
there is no energy

Differentiate between Destructive and

nondestructive testing?
Destructive testing, tests are carried out to the specimen's failure, in order to
understand a specimen's structural performance or material behavior under different
loads. but the specimen is no longer used because of being damaged.
Nondestructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science
and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without
causing damage. Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected
