the working principle of centrifugal pumps
The Centrifugal pump acts as a reversed of an
inward radial flow reaction turbine. This means that the flow in centrifugal
pumps is in the radial outward directions. The centrifugal pump works on the
principle of forced vortex flow which means that when a certain mass of liquid
is rotated by an external torque, the rise in pressure head of the rotating
liquid takes place. The rise in pressure head at any point of the rotating
liquid is proportional to the square of tangential velocity of the liquid at
that point. Thus at the outlet of the impeller, whose radius is more, the rise
in pressure head will be more and the liquid will be discharged at the outlet
with a high pressure head. Due to this high pressure head, the liquid can be
lifted to a high level.
