Centrifugal Pump – Components, Working, Types and Application
Centrifugal pump is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by the use of centrifugal force acting on the fluid. These are the most popular and commonly used type of pumps for the transfer of fluids from low level ...
Self Priming Pump – Working, Uses and Advantages
A self-priming pump is a pump which will clear its passages of air if it becomes air bound and resume delivery of the pumpage without outside attention. To accomplish this, a charge of liquid sufficient to prime the pump must ...
Kaplan Turbine – its Components, Working and Application
Kaplan Turbine works on the principle of axial flow reaction. In axial flow turbines, the water flows through the runner along the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the runner. The water at the inlet of the turbine ...
Francis Turbine – its Components, Working and Application
Francis Turbine is a combination of both impulse and reaction turbine, where the blades rotate using both reaction and impulse force of water flowing through them producing electricity more efficiently. Francis turbine is used for the production of electricity in hydro power ...
