The driving force for a turbine pump is:

The driving force for a turbine pump is:

• A. Steam
• B. Water pressure
• C. Electricity
• D. Vacuum

Answer: (A)

A turbine pump relies on a turbine to convert energy into rotational motion, and in many traditional systems that energy comes from steam. Steam from a boiler expands and pushes the turbine blades, spinning the shaft that drives the pump. This makes steam the driving force because it is the energy source that powers the turbine itself. Water pressure could drive a hydraulic setup, but not provide the turning force for a steam-driven turbine. Electricity would power an electric motor rather than the turbine, and a vacuum is a pressure difference used for vacuum pumping, not the energy source for a turbine-driven pump.
