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.

∙ 11y agoBasic difference is generally centrifugal pumps are non positive displacememnt type where as gear pumps are positive displacement type. Which means, gear pump discharges a fixed volume of fluid for every rotation of shaft.

How do you differentiate between positive displacement pump and roto dynamic pump?
Gear pump is a positive displacement pump. (A positive displacement pump causes a fluid to move by trapping a fixed amount of it then forcing (displacing) that trapped volume into the discharge pipe. or A positive displacement pump has an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Liquid flows into the pump as the cavity on the suction side expands and the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses. The volume is constant given each cycle of operation. A positive displacement pump can be further classified according to the mechanism used to move the fluid: a.Rotary-type, internal gear, screw, shuttle block, flexible vane or sliding vane, circumferential piston, helical twisted roots (e.g. the Wendelkolben pump) or liquid ring vacuum pumps. b.Reciprocating-type, for example, piston or diaphragm pumps. Gear pump is generally used for viscous fluid especially in hydraulic service. Gear pump are used for high head , low flow application. Widely used on car engine oil pumps. it is also used in various hydraulic power packs.. If you change the direction of gear pump ,suction will become discharge and discharge port become suction port. Gear pumps requires high degree of close clearances between gears and its housings. In centrifugal pump you will find above all in reverse . A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and flow rate of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used to move liquids through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward or axially into a diffuser or volute chamber, from where it exits into the downstream piping system. Centrifugal pumps are typically used for large discharge through smaller heads. Centrifugal pumps are most often associated with the radial flow type. However, the term "centrifugal pump" can be used to describe all impeller type rotodynamic pumps including the radial, axial and mixed flow variations. Gear pump is high efficiency pump while centrifugal pump will have relatively low efficiency.
Why is a centrifugal pumper equipped with a positive displacement pump in conjunction with the main pump?
Because the centrifugal pump cannot pump air due to its loose tolerances, the positive displacement pump is needed to create the vacuum.
What does pump produce?
A pump produces movement in the fluid it is pumping. It does this by creating:a low pressure zone into which the fluid is drawn (vacuum pump)a high pressure zone which the fluid wants to escape from (tire pump)A physical displacement of the fluid (gear pump, worm pump)centrifugal forces which move the fluid outwards from its center
What is the use of centrifugal pump in the ship?
to pump out liquid or gas in higher quantity
What is gear type pump?
A gear type pump has two gears in it that pull fluid through between the teeth creating pressure as it is forced out the other side.
What different between centrifugal pumps and multi pumps?
A centrifugal pump works by using centrifugal force. A multi pump is short for a multistage centrifugal pump with two or more impellers.
What are the main types of hydralic pumps?
Gear pumps. A vane pump. Piston pumps. Radial pump. Centrifugal pumps.
What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?
voloute convord the pressure into volicity and the mixtur of propallere and impeller is called turbine pump
What is difference between monoblock pump and centrifugal pump?
A monoblock pump is a small pump that has no base plates, couplings, or guards, which keeps it small. A centrifugal pump is larger, with added features and impellers to give the pump hydraulic lift.
What is the difference between a submersible nonclog pump and a horizontal centrifugal pump?
They may be the same thing.
Is turbine pump is a centrifugal pump?
yes that is centrifugal pump because the turbine pump creates a vacuum pressure on pipe.
About centrifugal pump?
What about it?
Do you have a pump?
Yup. I do have. I have gear pumps, water pumps, diaphragm pumps, vacuum pumps and blowers, submersible pumps, centrifugal pumps and filters.

What is volute centrifual pump?
The volute of a centrifugal pump is the tank that holds the liquid being pumped. The centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a swirling motion to pump liquid.
What is the differnece between a pd pump and centrifugal pump?
PD or positive displacement pump has a piston which directly contacts the fluid. In a centrifugal pump the impeller creates a patial vacuum inside the casing due to which suction takes place. Discharge takes place by the rotation of the impeller.
Why do you start the centrifugal pump with the discharge valve shut?
centrifugal pump should be fill with liquid to built discharge pressur.chemist.yasser.Naguib
