Centrifugal Pump Design: Centrifugal pump use a rotating impeller to swirl and increase the energy of the incoming fluid and then discharged it radially, at the outer radius of the impeller. Advantages: Ability to pump large volumes of fluid. Application: Fluid transfer and pumping. | | PumpLinx: Solve Flows, Pressures, Cavitation, and Loads: Discriminators: - Models cavitation
