2. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

   Centrifugal pumps with an internal suction stage such as water-jet pumps or side-channel pumps are also classified as self-priming pumps. [10] Self-Priming centrifugal pumps were invented in 1935. One of the first companies to market a self-priming centrifugal pump was American Marsh in 1938. [citation needed]

3. Net positive suction head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_positive_suction_head

   The Required NPSH (NPSH R): the head value at the suction side (e.g. the inlet of a pump) required to keep the fluid away from cavitating (provided by the manufacturer). NPSH is particularly relevant inside centrifugal pumps and turbines, which are parts of a hydraulic system

4. Centrifugal pump selection and characteristics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump_selection...

   While centrifugal pumps impart momentum to the fluid by motion of blades, positive displacement pumps transfer fluid by variation in the size of the pump’s chamber. Centrifugal pumps can be of rotor or propeller types, whereas positive displacement pumps may be gear-based, piston-based, diaphragm-based, etc. As a general rule, centrifugal ...

5. Axial piston pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_piston_pump

   Cutaway side-view diagram of an axial piston pump 3-D rendering of an axial piston pump with the parts labeled Animation of an axial piston pump in operation. An axial piston pump has a number of pistons (usually an odd number) arranged in a circular array within a housing which is commonly referred to as a cylinder block, rotor or barrel.

6. Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery

   An exploded view of an external gear pump. Hydraulic pumps supply fluid to the components in the system. Pressure in the system develops in reaction to the load. Hence, a pump rated for 5,000 psi is capable of maintaining flow against a load of 5,000 psi. Pumps have a power density about ten times

7. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

   hydraulic fluid machinery (≈ incompressible fluids) centrifugal pumps turbopumps and fans: fluid couplings and clutches (hydrodynamic gearbox); Voith turbo-transmissions; pump-turbines (in pumped-storage hydroelectricity) water turbines: thermal turbomachinery (compressible fluid) compressors: gas turbines (inlet consists of a compressor ...
