What are the different types of pumps?

Pumps are essential devices used to move fluids from one place to another. There are several types of pumps categorized based on their functionality and design. Some common types of pumps include centrifugal pumps, which use an impeller to create a centrifugal force that pushes the fluid through the pump; reciprocating pumps, which use pistons to push fluid through the pump; and rotary pumps, which use rotating elements to move the fluid. Each type of pump has unique advantages and is used in specific applications depending on the fluid being pumped and the required flow rate and pressure.
