A Centrifugal Pump is a mechanical device designed to move fluids by converting rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy of fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. Here are the key components and working principles of a centrifugal pump
Impeller: The rotating part of the pump that transfers energy to the fluid.
Pump Casing: A shell that encloses the impeller. It directs the flow of fluid into the impeller and then out to the discharge pipe.
Suction Pipe: The pipe through which the fluid enters the pump.
Discharge Pipe: The pipe through which the fluid exits the pump.
Shaft: Connects the impeller to the motor, transmitting mechanical energy.
Mechanical Seal or Packing: Prevents leakage of the pumped fluid.
