Centrifugal Pumps

A pump is one kind of fluif machine which is operated to transfer the liquid from the lower place or pressure to the higher place or pressure, by pressing or accelerating the liquid. A centrifugal pump is a kinetic machine converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy through centrifugal activity.
A centrifugal pump converts the input power to kinetic energy in the liquid by accelerating the liquid by revolving device an impeller. Working principle the centrifugal pumps is fluid enters the pump through the eye of the impeller which rotates at high speed. the fluid is accelerated radially outward from the pump casing. A vacuum is created at the impellers eye that continuously draws more fluid into the pump. The energy created by the pump is kinetic energy according the bernoulli equation.
