how a centrifugal pump is working?

Answer Posted / sunil kumar singh

A centrifugal pump is one of the simplest pieces of
equipment in any process plant. Its purpose is to convert
energy of a prime mover (a electric motor or turbine) first
into velocity or kinetic energy and then into pressure
energy of a fluid that is being pumped. The energy changes
occur by virtue of two main parts of the pump, the impeller
and the volute or diffuser. The impeller is the rotating
part that converts driver energy into the kinetic energy.
The volute or diffuser is the stationary part that converts
the kinetic energy into pressure energy.
Note: All of the forms of energy involved in a liquid flow
system are expressed in terms of feet of liquid i.e. head.
