A centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and flow rate of a fluid.

 Centrifugal Pump

A centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and flow rate of a fluid.

Key Components:

1. *Impeller*: The rotating component that imparts energy to the fluid.

2. *Casing*: The housing that contains the impeller and directs fluid flow.

3. *Shaft*: The rod that connects the impeller to the pump's driver.

Working Principle:

1. *Fluid enters*: Fluid enters the pump through the inlet.

2. *Impeller rotation*: The impeller rotates, imparting energy to the fluid.

3. *Fluid acceleration*: The fluid is accelerated outward by the impeller's centrifugal force.

4. *Pressure increase*: The fluid's pressure increases as it exits the impeller.

Applications:

1. *Water supply*: Centrifugal pumps are used in municipal water supply systems.

2. *Industrial processes*: They are used in various industrial processes, such as chemical processing and oil refining.

3. *HVAC*: Centrifugal pumps are used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

Advantages:

1. *High flow rates*: Centrifugal pumps can handle high flow rates.

2. *Low maintenance*: They have relatively low maintenance requirements.

Centrifugal pumps are widely used in various industries due to their efficiency and reliability.
