Centrifugal pumps consist of rotating impellers that push liquid out radially from the eye of the impeller. Lean more about drag, turbulence, and how the velocity head is converted to a pressure head in a centrifugal pump at AIChE’s Chemical Engineering for Non-Engineers course at aiche.org/ela110 and Essentials of Chemical Engineering for Operators at aiche.org/ela117
