Centrifugal pumps are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing  turbomachinery . Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or  volute  chamber (casing), from where it exits. Common uses include air, water, sewage, petroleum and petrochemical pumping. The reverse function of the centrifugal pump is a  water turbine  converting potential energy of water pressure into mechanical rotational energy.
