Pump Impeller Vane profile
Dear Trojan, You are absolutely correct. All centrifugal pumps impart kinetic energy to the fluid passing through it. This kinetic energy (Velocity head) is converted to pressure energy in the volute casing which has an gradual increase in area. Due to the gradual increase in area the kinetic...- VenkatV
