OK... this is just a question of semantics.
Two types of pumps are radial flow and axial flow.
Do we refer to them collectively as "centrifugal" pumps, or does that term only apply to radial flow.
From the physics definition of centrifugal, I would expect the term only to apply to radial flow pumps.
But I often hear people broadly group pumps into positive displacement and centrifugal.... and they lump axial along with radial in the centrifugal category.
