    a pump that use centrifugal force to discharge fluid into a pipe

Wikipedia

  1. Centrifugal pump

    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 or electric motor. They are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from which it exits. Common uses include water, sewage, agriculture, petroleum and petrochemical pumping. Centrifugal pumps are often chosen for their high flow rate capabilities, abrasive solution compatibility, mixing potential, as well as their relatively simple engineering. A centrifugal fan is commonly used to implement a vacuum cleaner. The reverse function of the centrifugal pump is a water turbine converting potential energy of water pressure into mechanical rotational energy.

  1. centrifugal pump

    A centrifugal pump is a type of hydraulic machine or mechanical device that uses centrifugal force to move liquids through a piping system. The pump converts the rotational energy typically from a motor, to energy in a moving fluid. The centrifugal force drives the liquid out from the pump while also increasing its pressure, making it useful for various applications such as water supply, sewage, petroleum and power plants, among others.
