Types and principle of working of pumps

Question

Accepted Answer

Pumps are devices used to move fluids by mechanical action. They work on the principle of creating a pressure difference.

Types of pumps include centrifugal, positive displacement, and jet pumps.
Centrifugal pumps work by converting rotational energy into kinetic energy to increase the fluid's velocity.
Positive displacement pumps work by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and forcing it into the discharge pipe.
Jet pumps work by creating a vacuum to draw fluid into the pump and then using a jet of high-pressure fluid to move the fluid.
Pumps are used in various industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing.
