Gear pump is used to transport the thick slurry and viscous fluid.

Devendra said:   10 years ago
Gear pump is the correct answer.

Mousami said:   10 years ago
The answer is Gear pump.

Deeks said:   10 years ago
I checked with google and I am sure it is a gear pump.

Fully confused!

Can anyone give me a list of various pumps with its unique applications?

Seriyala Anil said:   1 decade ago
Answer must be a gear pump because centrifugal pumps not used for viscous fluids and diaphragm pumps are used for slurry which is corrosive nature so gear pumps are used for high viscous fluids.

Nadeem said:   1 decade ago
Diaphragm are used when corrosive liquids are handled.

Pawan Borale said:   1 decade ago
Diaphragm pump is used for slurry only, here we shall use gear pump due to high viscosity and stickiness of material.

Why don't we use diaphragm pump? where it can be used?
