Centrifugal Pump A centrifugal pump is a contrivance which provides energy to a fluid in a fluid system. It assist to increase the pressure energy or kinetic energy or both of the fluid by converting the mechanical energy. What is basic difference between a Turbine and The Pump? The basic difference between a turbine and the pump, from hydrodynamic point of views. Is that in the former flow takes place from the high pressure side to low pressure side. Whereas in pump flow take place from the low pressure towards the high pressure. Thus in a turbine there is accelerated flow, while the pump the flow is decelerated. Why transformer is rated in KVA? How and Why an increase in secondary or load current causes an increase in primary current? What is the difference between dynamo breaking and regenerative breaking? What are the possible options of controlling the speed of dc motor ? Which characteristics of three point starter makes it unpopular ? Why it is impossible for the counter emf to equal the applied voltage in a motor?
