A pump is a device that is used to move fluids, such as water, from one location to another. It works by applying mechanical force to the fluid, which increases its pressure and causes it to flow through a system of pipes or other conduits.
Pumps can be powered by a variety of sources, including electricity, gas, or diesel fuel, and come in a wide range of sizes and types, from small, portable units to large, industrial machines. There are many different types of pumps, each designed to handle specific types of fluids and meet specific performance requirements. Some common types of pumps include centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, and jet pumps.
Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump and work by using a spinning impeller to move the fluid. Positive displacement pumps, on the other hand, use a mechanical device to trap the fluid and move it through the system.
