← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when the Mughal garden water-lifting Archimedes screw pump has poor gear meshing?
A)Reduced flow and uneven surges✓
B)Increased thermal efficiency of gears
C)Enhanced laminar pipe flow control
D)Improved sonic water hammer damping
💡 Explanation
Reduced flow occurs due to increased slippage; poor gear meshing causes inefficiency. The volumetric *pump slippage* negatively affects water delivery because drive power is spent overcoming friction, rather than pumping, therefore less irrigation occurs rather than alternatives affecting other properties.
