A centrifugal pump is a rotary machine that converts mechanical energy into pressure energy through centrifugal force. It consists of two primary components: an impeller, which imparts velocity to the liquid, and a casing, which converts that velocity into flow. The pump operates by transforming kinetic energy into hydraulic energy, allowing it to transfer liquids from one location to another. Centrifugal pumps are widely used in various applications, including solids control system, water supply, irrigation, and industrial processes.
