2. Energy Concept
of Pump
Energy
– Pump is to add energy to a fluid, resulting in an increase in fluid
pressure, not necessarily an increase of fluid speed across the
pump
– Turbine is to extract energy from a fluid, resulting in a decrease of
fluid pressure, not necessarily a decrease of fluid speed across the
turbine
