Centrifugal Pumps and Turbines Overview by Agilan Chellaram is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to transfer fluids from low to high levels. They work by using centrifugal force to increase the pressure of a fluid. Key components include an impeller and casing. Fluid enters the rapidly rotating impeller and is cast out through centrifugal force.

Common turbines include Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan, which
