ROTODYNAMIC PUMP

AXIAL PUMP (PROPELLER)
CENTIFUGAL PUMP (MIXED FLOW)
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP (RADIAL)
FUNCTION
An axial flow pump has a propeller-
type of impeller running in a casing.
The pressure in an axial flow pump
is developed by the flow of liquid
over the blades of impeller. It allows
the fluid to enter the impeller axially
and discharge the fluid nearly
axially. The propeller of an AFP is
driven by a motor.
Mixed flow centrifugal
pumps borrow characteristics from
both radial flow and axial flow
pumps. As liquid flows through the
impeller of a mixed flow pump, the
impeller blades push the liquid out
away from the pump shaft and to
the pump suction at an angle greater
than 90 degrees.
Radial-flow pumps operate at higher
pressures and lower flow rates than
axial and mixed-flow pumps.
APPLICATION
Oil refineries, power
plants
Building services
Chemical and Process
Industries
Industries and Water
engineering
In power plants, they are
used for pumping water
from a reservoir, river,
lake or sea for cooling the
main condenser
In the chemical industry,
they are used for
circulation of large
masses of liquid, such as
in evaporators and
crystallizers
In sewage treatment, an
axial flow pump is often
used for internal mixed
liquor recirculation
In agriculture and
fisheries very large
horsepower axial flow
pumps are used to lift
water for irrigation and
drainage
Used for hydraulic
purposes
Pumping of water in
building
In the medical industry,
pump is used for
biochemical processes
and in biomimicry.
 A turbine pump that is mainly used
TURBINE PUMP to pump water from deep wells or
other underground and man made
bodes of water to water distribution
systems.
Turbine water pumps are
used for various
applications, such as
pumping water for
irrigation, firefighting,
hydroelectricity, and
treatment of waste water
The major advantage of
the turbine water pump is
its low revolutions per
minute, or RPM, with a
high and constant head.
This feature enables the
use of these pumps for
the continuous pumping
of water from deep wells.
