The blade can be treated as a stack of layers going from the axis out to the edge of the blade. Each layer exerts an outward (centrifugal) force on the immediately adjacent, radially inward layer and an inward (centripetal) force on the immediately adjacent, radially outward layer.
Unlike the other two fictitious forces, the centrifugal force always points radially outward from the axis of rotation of the rotating frame, with magnitude , where is the component of the position vector perpendicular to , and unlike the Coriolis force in particular, it is independent of the motion of the particle in the rotating frame.
As a result, air travels clockwise around high pressure in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Air around low-pressure rotates in the opposite direction, so that the Coriolis force is directed radially outward and nearly balances an inwardly radial pressure gradient.

A radially symmetrical flow field directed outwards from a common point is called a source flow. The central common point is the line source described above. Fluid is supplied at a constant rate from the source. As the fluid flows outward, the area of flow increases.
The acceleration points radially inwards (centripetally) and is perpendicular to the velocity. This acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration. For a path of radius r, when an angle θ is swept out, the distance traveled on the periphery of the orbit is s = rθ.
Outward flow reaction turbine Fluid enters at outer periphery of runner and flows radially inward toward the centre thus flow is radially inwards toward the centre. Here the flow is radially outwards and the fluid gets discharged at the outer periphery of the runner
During the pandemic era, stimulus checks were a lifeline for many Americans. Now, if Elon Musk and President Donald Trump make some moves, Americans could be getting another round of payments in ...
A portion of the energy goes into kinetic energy of the fluid. Fluid enters axially through eye of the casing, is caught up in the impeller blades, and is whirled tangentially and radially outward until it leaves through all circumferential parts of the impeller into the diffuser part of the casing.
