Correct option is A
Characteristic | Centrifugal Pump | Reciprocating Pump |
|---|---|---|
Discharge | Continuous and smooth (steady flow) | Pulsating (due to piston action) |
Efficiency | Generally lower | Higher, over a wide viscosity range |
Cost | Generally lower than reciprocating pumps | Higher due to complexity |
Suitability for viscous liquids | Less efficient for highly viscous liquids | More efficient for highly viscous liquids |
