Which one of the following is NOT a rotating machine?

  • A.Centrifugal pump
  • B.Gear pump
  • C.Jet pump
  • D.Vane pump

Answer: C

The jet pump is not a rotating machine.

A jet pump (ejector) has no moving parts: a high-velocity motive jet of fluid entrains the fluid to be pumped through momentum exchange in a mixing chamber and diffuser.

The others all rotate. A centrifugal pump uses a rotating impeller. A gear pump carries fluid round in the spaces between meshing rotating gears. A vane pump has a rotor with sliding vanes turning in an eccentric casing.
