CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS Introduction A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to create flow by the addition of energy to a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through piping. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller‚ flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing)‚ from where it exits into the downstream piping. Centrifugal pumps are used for

as a means of jet propulsion. The action of the steam turbine is based on the thermodynamic principle that when a vapor is allowed to expand‚ its temperature drops. In turn‚ its internal energy is decreased. This reduction in internal energy is transformed into mechanical energy in the form of an acceleration of the particles of vapor. The transformation that occurs‚ provides a large amount of available work energy. The essential parts of all steam turbines consist of nozzles or jets through which

types of internal combustion engine are : reciprocating engine such as Otto-engine‚ and Diesel engines ; and rotary engines‚ such as the Wankel engine and the Gas-turbine engine. In general‚ the internal combustion engine has become the means of propulsion in the transportation field‚ with the exception of large ships requiring over 4‚000 shaft horsepower ( hp). In stationary applications‚ size of unit and local factor often determine the choice between the use of steam and diesel engine. Diesel

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 What is thermodynamics? Thermodynamics is the science which has evolved from the original investigations in the 19th century into the nature of “heat.” At the time‚ the leading theory of heat was that it was a type of fluid‚ which could flow from a hot body to a colder one when they were brought into contact. We now know that what was then called “heat” is not a fluid‚ but is actually a form of energy – it is the energy associated with the continual‚ random motion of the
