Centrifugal pump:-
Centrifugal pumps are a sub-class of dynamic
axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery.
Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the
conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the
hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational
energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor.
The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the
rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing
radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber
(casing), from where it exits.
Common uses include water, sewage, petroleum and
petrochemical pumping. The reverse function of the
centrifugal pump is a water turbine converting potential
energy of water pressure into mechanical rotational
energy.
