A water pump is a positive displacement-type pump true or false
Kay [80]

Answer: True

A water pump belong to a positive displacement pump that provides constant flow of water at fixed speed, regardless of changes in the counter pressure. The two main types of positive displacement pump are rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps.

Moreover, water pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that have an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. In water pumps, the liquid flows into the pumps as the cavity on the suction side expands and then the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses providing water in a pail.
