    1.  WHAT IS A POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP?  


    Positive displacement pumps are self-priming pumps and are normally used as
    priming devices.

     They consist of one or more chamber, depending upon the construction,


    and the chambers are alternatively filled and emptied.
     The positive displacement pumps are normally used where the discharge
    rate is small to medium.
     They are popularly used where the viscosity of the fluid is high.
     They are generally used to produce high pressure in the pumping system.

       2.  NAME THE TYPES OF DISPLACEMENT PUMP?


    Positive Displacement pump:

      Reciprocating Pump
     Screw pump
     Gear pump
     Piston pump
     Ram type pump
     Vane pump

       3.  WHAT IS A DYNAMIC DISPLACEMENT PUMP?


    Dynamic Pressure or Roto-Dynamic Pump.

     In dynamic pressure pump, during pumping action, tangential force is


    imparted which accelerates the fluid normally by rotation of impeller.
     Some systems which contain dynamic pump may require positive
    displacement pump for priming.
     They are normally used for moderate to high discharge rate.
     The pressure differential range for this type of pumps is in a range of low to
    moderate.
     They are popularly used in a system where low viscosity fluids are used.

       4.  NAME THE TYPES OF DYNAMIC DISPLACEMENT PUMP?


    Dynamic pressure pumps:

      Centrifugal pumps
     Axial flow pumps
     Submersible pump
     Centrifugal-axial (mixed) pump.
