How Centrifugal Pumps Work
A centrifugal pump is a type of rotodynamic pump that uses bladed impellers with essentially a radial outlet to transfer rotational mechanical energy to the fluid primarily by increasing the fluid kinetic energy (angular momentum) and increasing potential energy (static pressure).
