Centrifugal pump

A Centrifugal pump is a mechanical machine that pumps the fluids by converting the mechanical power (rotational energy) into the pressure energy of the fluid flow. This mechanical power generally supplies by the electric motor or engine. A centrifugal pump uses a centrifugal force to pump the fluids. Therefore, it is known as a centrifugal pump.

What Are the Types of Centrifugal Pumps and Their Applications?
Radial Centrifugal Pumps – The design of these pumps facilitates an outward motion flow, which an impeller speeds up. ...
Axial Centrifugal Pumps – These pumps produce flow from the propelling motion of the impeller vanes, in other words, via a lifting effect.

How centrifugal pump works ?
A centrifugal pump operates through the transfer of rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. The action of the impeller increases the fluid's velocity and pressure and directs it towards the pump outlet.
