Medium
Match the pumps in Group I with the corresponding fluids in Group II: P. Gear pump, Q. Peristaltic pump — I. Highly viscous liquid, II. Aqueous sterile liquid, III. Slurry
- AP-III, Q-I
- BP-II, Q-I
- CP-III, Q-II
- P-I, Q-II
Explanation
Gear pumps (positive displacement, close internal clearances) handle highly viscous liquids well (P-I). Peristaltic pumps keep the fluid entirely within flexible tubing with no contact with pump internals, making them ideal for aqueous sterile liquids (Q-II).
