Non-positive displacement has slippage inside the pump and it is a continous, variable flow. But positive displacement has no slippage inside the pump, and it is a constant flow.

A positive displacement pump moves a constant volume of fluid for each cycle of operation, creating flow by direct displacement. In contrast, a non-positive displacement pump does not move a constant volume of fluid per cycle and relies on factors like speed and pressure to generate flow.
Positive displacement pumps deliver a constant amount of fluid per rotation of the pump shaft, regardless of pressure. Non-positive displacement pumps do not have this characteristic and can vary in flow rate depending on the system pressure. In positive displacement pumps, the fluid is confined in a chamber and discharged with each stroke, while non-positive displacement pumps rely on kinetic energy to push fluid through the system.
Positive work occurs when a force is applied in the same direction as the displacement of an object, resulting in energy being transferred to the object. Negative work occurs when a force is applied in the opposite direction of the displacement, resulting in energy being taken away from the object.
To calculate displacement from a position-time graph, find the difference between the initial and final positions on the graph. This difference represents the total displacement traveled by the object.
Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points of an object's motion, while distance is the total length of the path traveled by the object.
Distance is the total length traveled by an object, while displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, taking into account direction.
