🔍 Key Concepts

• Radial thrust vs. axial thrust in centrifugal pumps • How volutes and diffusers affect pressure distribution around the impeller • What a Kingsbury thrust bearing is designed to handle

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which device or design feature directly changes the hydraulic pressure distribution around the impeller to balance forces. • Consider which answer choices are pump hydraulic components versus mechanical bearings and what kind of thrust each addresses. • Think about whether single-flow designs tend to increase or decrease unbalanced radial forces compared with more symmetric diffuser arrangements.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option(s) are actually part of the pump casing/hydraulic passage and which are just shaft bearings. • Verify which components are associated with radial force balancing, not axial thrust balancing. • Check fluid path symmetry: more uniform circumferential discharge usually means lower radial thrust.
