Answer
Correct Answer: Agree
Explanation
Concept/ApproachRotary (centrifugal/axial/rotary vane/roots) compressors are commonly used for large volumetric flow rates at modest pressure ratios, where reciprocating compressors become bulky and pulsating. Hence the statement is correct.
Final AnswerAgree.
