How does the compressor lubrication system differ for reciprocating and centrifugal compressors?

In a centrifugal compressor, the refrigerant and the oil systems are separate. The oil is in a separate oil sump and the oil pump powered by a separate motor. On the other hand, the reciprocating compressor is powered by the compressor shaft.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is(d) nondisjunction during meiosis;

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
