What was centrifugal pump and difference between pump and compressor?

Question

Accepted Answer

A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device used to transport fluids by converting rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy.

Centrifugal pumps are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and water treatment.
They work by using an impeller to create a low-pressure area at the center of the pump, which draws in fluid and then expels it at high pressure through the outlet.
Pumps are used to transport fluids, while compressors are used to compress gases.
The main difference between pumps and compressors is that pumps move fluids from one place to another, while compressors increase the pressure of gases.
Examples of compressors include air compressors used in pneumatic tools and refrigeration compressors used in air conditioning systems.
