Transportation of fluids: basic types of pumps. Power input and output of a pump, pump efficiency.Suction and displacement height (heads), maximum suction height. Cavitation. Characteristic (orperformance) curve of a pump and of a pipeline, working point.5. Fluid flow through a bed of solid particles; explain the terms: voidage (porosity) of the bed, specific surfaceof particles, interstitial and superficial liquid velocity. Principles of the determination of pressure drop alongthe bed (qualitative description only). Principles of filtration, applications, basic types of filters. Massbalance of a filter. Filtration rate, filtration equation. Filtration at constant velocity and filtration at constantpressure difference. Cake washing
