There are four main types of rotodynamic pumps described in the document: axial pumps (propeller pumps), centrifugal pumps (mixed flow and radial flow), and turbine pumps. Axial pumps develop pressure through the flow of liquid over propeller-like impeller blades and are used for applications like oil refineries. Centrifugal pumps, either mixed flow or radial flow, use an impeller to push liquid outwards, with radial pumps operating at higher pressures. Turbine pumps are mainly used for pumping water from deep underground sources and have low RPMs with high head.

PUMP FUNCTION APPLICATION
An axial flow pump has a propeller- Oil refineries, power AXIAL PUMP (PROPELLER) type of impeller running in a casing. plants The pressure in an axial flow pump Building services is developed by the flow of liquid Chemical and Process over the blades of impeller. It allows Industries the fluid to enter the impeller axially Industries and Water and discharge the fluid nearly axially. The propeller of an AFP is engineering driven by a motor.
Mixed flow centrifugal In power plants, they are
CENTIFUGAL PUMP (MIXED FLOW) pumps borrow characteristics from used for pumping water both radial flow and axial flow from a reservoir, river, pumps. As liquid flows through the lake or sea for cooling the impeller of a mixed flow pump, the main condenser impeller blades push the liquid out In the chemical industry, away from the pump shaft and to they are used for the pump suction at an angle greater circulation of large than 90 degrees. masses of liquid, such as in evaporators and crystallizers In sewage treatment, an axial flow pump is often used for internal mixed liquor recirculation In agriculture and fisheries very large horsepower axial flow pumps are used to lift water for irrigation and drainage CENTRIFUGAL PUMP (RADIAL) Radial-flow pumps operate at higher Used for hydraulic pressures and lower flow rates than purposes axial and mixed-flow pumps. Pumping of water in building In the medical industry, pump is used for biochemical processes and in biomimicry. A turbine pump that is mainly used Turbine water pumps are TURBINE PUMP to pump water from deep wells or used for various other underground and man made applications, such as bodes of water to water distribution pumping water for systems. irrigation, firefighting, hydroelectricity, and treatment of waste water The major advantage of the turbine water pump is its low revolutions per minute, or RPM, with a high and constant head. This feature enables the use of these pumps for the continuous pumping of water from deep wells.
