Best Answer

An axial piston pump is a positive displacement pump that has a number of pistons in a circular array within a cylinder block. It can be used as a stand-alone pump, a hydraulic motor or an automotive air conditioning compressor.

A radial piston pump is a form of hydraulic pump. The working pistons extend in a radial direction symmetrically around the drive shaft, in contrast to the axial piston pump.

A centrifugal pump will typically give you a higher flow rate but a lower pressure, where a piston pump will give you more pressure but a lower flow rate.

How oil pumps work?

Oil field pushrod pumps ("donkey pumps") are reciprocating piston pumps. The long rod attached to the nodding head of the donkey pump extends down the well pipe. At the bottom of the pipe, an attached piston is moved up and down by the motion of the rod. The piston is fitted with a one-way valve, and the bottom of the pipe is also fitted with a one-way valve. As the piston descends, its valve (the "travelling valve") opens, allowing oil to pass through into the space above the piston. At the same time, the valve at the bottom of the well pipe (the "standing valve") closes, so that no oil is pushed out the bottom of the pipe. When the piston begins to rise, the travelling valve closes so that the oil now above it is lifted up the well pipe...while the standing valve now opens, allowing more oil from underground to be sucked into the bottom of the well pipe. The process repeats, with each upward stroke of the pump delivering around one to ten gallons of liquid...oil, possibly with some water mixed in.


Is it possible to run a piston using either steam or an electric motor?

You can run a piston with any sort of power, steam, hydro, electric motor. Electric motors are often used to move a piston in pumps, but the rotary type pump is much more efficient. Today steam is normally used to move a turbine, not a piston. Most pistons are used in internal combustion machines and are used to capture to power of the explosion.


What are the Advantages of reciprocating pumps?

A reciprocating pump is basically a piston in a cylinder with 2 check valves in ports in front of the piston. When the piston is moving back in the cylinder, a check valve allows fluid to fill the cylinder from the intake port, while the discharge port is blocked by its check valve. When the piston goes back the other way, the check valve in the discharge port allows fluid to pass while the check valve in the intake port closes.


Comparison between centrifugal pump and gear pump?

both gear pump and reciprocating pumps are positive displacement pumps.but the different is gear pump rotary type.reciprocating pump moves liner motion.the piston moves up and down in straight line.

What is the difference in working between axial flow pumps and mixed flow pumps?

In axial flow pumps, fluid enters and exits along the same direction parallel to the rotating shaft giving high flow rates and low head. In radial flow pumps, fluid enters and leaves perpendicular to the rotating shaft giving high head and low flow rates. Thus, in mixed we have combined of both axial and radial.i.e.Liquid will go behind the impeller at certain angle between 0-90degrees normally below 45degree.Mixed flow replace axial when we require head not provided by the axial pump as we have to lift water from a water a lower level and then discharge it. physically,mixed flow can be identified by bellmouth(diverging converging shape) which shows its between axial and radial.

Axial flow turbomachines?

These are machines dealing with fluids, like (Axial Compressors, pumps and Fans). the term "Axial" is given due to the direction of inward and outward flow. In axial turbo machines the direction of outward flow is the same as the direction of the inward flow since the blades of the machines doesn't change the direction of flow.

Why pumps not used to pump the gases?

That's not strictly true. Gases are pumped by using pumps such as piston pumps and vane pumps. A garage compressor has the air pumped into the tank by a piston pump. Even a bicycle pump is often used. however, when gases are "pumped" it by definition becomes a compressor. pumps move basically un-compressible fluids. low pressure gas transfer is termed a blower, while higher pressure usage requires a compressor.
