Answer: a. Difference between theoretical discharge and actual discharge.

The slip of a reciprocating pump is defined as the difference between theoretical discharge and actual discharge.

Solution:

The slip of a reciprocating pump is defined as the difference between theoretical discharge and actual discharge. Due to water leakage during pump operation, the actual discharge of a reciprocating pump will be less than the theoretical discharge. The disparity between the predicted and actual discharge is referred to as reciprocating pump slip. The slip in a reciprocating pump can be expressed mathematically as follows:

Slip = Q_th-Q_act
