Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by converting rotational kinetic energy, typically supplied by an engine or electric motor, into the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. They are a sub class of dynamic, axisymmetric, work absorbing turbomachinery: fluid enters the pump impeller along or near the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber, or casing, from which it exits.
