What is Pump?

A pump is a mechanical device used to move fluids, such as liquids or gases, from one place to another. It operates by creating a flow through suction or pressure, allowing the fluid to be transferred or circulated in systems like plumbing, water supply, or industrial processes. Pumps come in various types, including centrifugal, diaphragm, and piston pumps, each suited for specific applications based on the fluid and pressure requirements.

How to Calculate Power Required to Drive Pump?
