A pump is a mechanical device that transfer material from point A to point B. There are many type of pump in the market today with most falling into positive displacement, hydraulic and centrifugal group. The centrifugal pump is the most common and is normally used to transfer fluids with water like characteristics. The positive displacement group pumps fluid with great concentration of solids. Each group has its divisions which are more suitable for different applications.
Believe it or not? Our lives depend on pumps for our day to day most needed tasks. The water that we drink, the gas for our cars, and the food that we eat is processed with pumps. Without pumps, the automatitation process will be impossible and live as we know it.
There will be more to come on pumps. This is just my first post, and I thought it will be good to give a brief definition and a little inside on these very needed devices.
