Centrifugal pump

In the world of hydraulics, the most preferred pumping devices are centrifugal pumps. This is due to their advantages like small in size, easier for maintenance, high efficiency, etc. [1]. The hydraulic machines which convert the mechanical energy into hydraulic energy are called hydraulic pumps. The hydraulic energy is in the form of pressure energy. A pump is a device that transfers fluids from one place to another by doing mechanical action. Thus according to the standard definition, Centrifugal pump is a device that converts Rotational form of energy (via motor) to energy in a moving fluid. The most essential parts that are included in centrifugal pump are Impeller, Casing, Suction pipe with a foot valve and strainer, and delivery pipe. We will discuss about this in depth afterwards.
