🔍 Key Concepts

• Impeller function in a centrifugal pump and how multiple impellers affect pressure/head • Meaning of multistage vs. how pumps are arranged in parallel • Difference between axial flow design and standard radial-flow centrifugal pumps

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you place two impellers in series in the same casing, what happens to the discharge pressure/head compared to a single-impeller pump? • Which term refers specifically to increasing head by adding stages inside one pump, and which term refers to using more than one pump on the same suction/discharge line? • Does dual coupled normally describe the number of impellers or the way motors/shafts are connected?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option describes stages in series within one pump casing rather than multiple pumps side-by-side in the system piping • Confirm whether axial flow pumps are defined by flow direction through the impeller (parallel to shaft) rather than the number of impellers • Make sure the term you choose is commonly used in marine engineering texts to describe a centrifugal pump with two impellers on the same shaft
