2. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

   Warman centrifugal pump in a coal preparation plant application A pair of centrifugal pumps for circulating hot water within a hydronic heating system. 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 ...

3. Pump as turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_As_Turbine

   Among the existing designs of hydraulic pumps/PATs, "centrifugal" or "radial" units are the most used worldwide in a wide variety of application fields. [9] The name is derived from the radial path followed by the fluid in the rotor: from the centre to the periphery when running as a pump and in the opposite direction when flow is reversed. [10]

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. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   When a system includes a centrifugal pump, an important design issue is matching the head loss-flow characteristic with the pump so that it operates at or close to the point of its maximum efficiency. Pump efficiency is an important aspect and pumps should be regularly tested. Thermodynamic pump testing is one method.

6. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

   Pumps - Pumps are another very popular turbomachine. Although there are very many different types of pumps, they all do the same thing. Pumps are used to move fluids around using some sort of mechanical power, from electric motors to full size diesel engines. Pumps have thousands of uses, and are the true basis to turbomachinery (Škorpík, 2017).

7. Impeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeller

   Several different types of pump impellers Flexible impeller of cooling system pump of an outboard engine (1 euro cent coin for comparison, diameter 16.25 mm). An impeller is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump that accelerates fluid outward from the center of rotation, thus transferring energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped.
