Question 1 of 27070

Devices which utilize the rapid flow of a fluid to entrain another fluid and thereby move it from one place to another are called __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• How jet action works: using a high-speed fluid stream to pull or "entrain" another fluid • Difference between dynamic pumps (like centrifugal and mixed flow) and devices that move fluid mainly by velocity of another fluid • Where you’d find devices that use a nozzle to create suction (eductors, bilge ejectors, etc.)

💭 Think About

• Which type of device relies on a fast-moving jet of fluid to drag or entrain another fluid along with it, instead of using an impeller to directly push the fluid? • Look at each option: which ones are specific pump designs with rotating impellers, and which one is associated with ejectors/eductors that have no moving parts? • If you’ve seen a bilge eductor on a ship, what is that device commonly classified as in engineering terminology?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is commonly linked with eductors or ejectors on ships • Eliminate choices that clearly depend on a rotating impeller (centrifugal or mixed-flow designs) rather than entrainment by a high-velocity jet • Make sure the term you select is used for devices that may have no moving parts, just a nozzle and a flow passage
