Answer Posted / santosh raikar

Centrifugal pump principal is dynamic action between
rotating impeller and fluid.
reciprocating pump principal is mechanical action b/w moving
piston and stationery fluid( more suitable is liquid).
centrifugal pump creates pressure head due to the conversion

the resistant to the flow of fluid.
