Centrifugal pumps are classified as either radial flow or axial flow. Figure 10-1 shows a radial flow pump. Flow enters the center of the rotating…
Pumps are classified as either “kinetic” or “positive displacement” pumps. In a kinetic pump, energy is added continuously to increase the fluid’s velocity within the…
Pumps are normally needed to move oil through the LACT unit and deliver it at pressure to a pipeline downstream of the unit. Pumps are…
