pump impeller basics

The video tutorial explains the mechanics of backward curved veins and their role in fluid flow. It details how the impeller rotates, imparting kinetic energy to water, which is then converted into pressure as it moves through the pump. The volute channel's expanding diameter helps increase pressure while decreasing velocity. Factors like impeller thickness and rotational speed affect the pump's efficiency and flow rate. The video concludes with a summary of these concepts.

What role do the backward curved veins play in the fluid flow?

Explain how the impeller affects the velocity of water.

Describe the process that occurs when water exits the impeller.

What happens to the pressure as the water moves through the volute channel?

How does the thickness of the impeller influence the volume flow rate?
