Centrifugal Pump "Centrifugal pump is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy (i.e. pressure energy) by the use of centrifugal force acting on the fluid. " A centrifugal pump is the simplest machine which is used in various industries as well as in many daily applications to transfer fluid from lower head to higher head. Centrifugal pumps are mostly used in chemical industries for easily transfer viscous fluids. Also, it is less expensive than other pumping devices.
