a pump consisting of a piston that moves back and forth or up and down in a cylinder. The cylinder is equipped with inlet (suction) and outlet( discharge) valves. On the intake stroke, the suction valves are opened, and fluid is drawn into the cylinder. On the discharge stroke, the suction valves close, the discharge valves open, and fluid is forced out of the cylinder.

Is receiprocating pump advantageous or centrifugal pupm?

A reciprocating pump is an advantageous pump. Centrifugal pumps convert energy into rotation to power themselves. A reciprocating pump uses a back and forth linear motion.


How does a windmill pump water from the ground?

As the reciprocating pump operates though the reciprocation of the follower,it guides the suction and the compression of water in the pipe.That's so when the rotary motion of the rotor blade is converted into the reciprocating motion, which deliver it to the reciprocating pump, the suction and discharge takes place.

Relation between power and discharge of a reciprocating pump?

The power required by a reciprocating pump is directly proportional to the discharge it produces. When the discharge increases, the power needed to maintain that flow rate also increases. This relationship is governed by the pump efficiency and the pressure head against which the pump is operating.
