What's the pump? Where can I use it?

Answer:

Working principleIt transfers mechanical energy or other external energy of the prime mover to the liquid, increasing the energy of the liquid. Before the pump starts, the pump shell is filled with the liquid to be transported; after starting, the impeller is driven by the shaft to rotate at high speed, and the liquid between the blades must also rotate. Under the influence of centrifugal force, the liquid is thrown from the center of the impeller to the outer edge and obtains energy, and leaves the outer edge of the impeller at high speed to enter the volute pump shell. In the spiral case, the liquid slows down due to the gradual enlargement of the flow passage, and the part of kinetic energy is converted to static pressure, and finally flows into the exhaust pipe at higher pressure and is sent to the required place. When the liquid flows from the center of the impeller to the outer edge, a vacuum is formed at the center of the impeller. As the pressure at the upper level of the tank is greater than the pressure at the pump inlet, the liquid is continuously pressed into the impeller. Visible, as long as the impeller continues to rotate, the liquid will continue to be inhaled and discharged.
Pump can usually be divided into three types of displacement pumps, power pumps and other types of pumps according to the principle of operation. In addition to classification according to the working principle, it can be classified and named according to other methods.
A pump is a machine that transports liquids or pumps liquids. Pumps are ubiquitous in life. They can be used to transport liquids such as water, oil, acid and alkali, emulsions, suspensions and liquid metals, as well as liquids, gas mixtures, and liquids containing suspended solids.
