Q

The pressure of a liquid leaving the pump can be referred to as the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between suction side and discharge side of a pump • Meaning of head in fluids (energy/pressure expressed as height of liquid) • How we describe pressure measured at the pump outlet vs total system pressure

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term specifically describes the pressure (or head) at the pump’s outlet connection, not including what happens in the rest of the system? • Which option clearly relates to the downstream side of the pump, as opposed to the upstream side or the overall system? • Which term is commonly used by engineers to describe the height/pressure the pump delivers on the outlet side only?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers specifically to the outlet (discharge) side of the pump. • Eliminate any terms that include both suction and discharge together (overall system) rather than just the outlet pressure. • Verify that the term you choose is not defined as a suction-side requirement or condition.
