  On the Basis of Transfer of mechanical energy the pumps can be broadly classify as follows: a.       Rotodynamic pumps: 1.       Radial Flow Pumps 2.       Axial Flow pumps 3.       Mixed Flow pumps b.       Positive displacement pumps: In rotodynamic pumps increase in energy level is due to combination of centrifugal energy, pressure energy and kinetic energy. o. The energy transfer in a radial flow pump, occurs mainly when the flow is in it’s radial path. o . In a axial flow pump, the energy transfer occurs when the flow is in it’s axial direction. o . The energy transfer in a mixed   flow pump takes place when the flow compromises radial as well as axial components. The radial flow types pump are commonly called centrifugal pump.   Mian parts of a centrifugal pump: a.      ...
