Pump Application: Building Water Pump
Pumps are devices used to move fluids from one point to another by creating differences in pressure between the two points. Pumps are powered by a prime mover, which can be either a diesel engine or an electric motor. The pump converts the energy supplied by the prime mover to potential energy by pressurizing the fluid it’s pumping. For example, a diesel pump has an engine that converts chemical energy in the fuel to mechanical energy in the form of torque. The torque from the engine is then picked up and transmitted to the pumping mechanism for fluid ...
