how a centrifugal pump is working?

Answer Posted / sunil kumar singh

A centrifugal pump is one of the simplest pieces of
equipment in any process plant. Its purpose is to convert
energy of a prime mover (a electric motor or turbine) first
into velocity or kinetic energy and then into pressure
energy of a fluid that is being pumped. The energy changes
occur by virtue of two main parts of the pump, the impeller
and the volute or diffuser. The impeller is the rotating
part that converts driver energy into the kinetic energy.
The volute or diffuser is the stationary part that converts
the kinetic energy into pressure energy.
Note: All of the forms of energy involved in a liquid flow
system are expressed in terms of feet of liquid i.e. head.

Hello there, Im a Mechanical Engineer. I passed out in 2010 and have worked for 6 months in the Middle East as a Trainee Engineer. Im now in India and due to appear for an Interview for a firm in the Middle East. The post is of an Automobile Engineer. Im kinda nervous as to what to prepare for the interview. The training which I got was in different areas ranging from technical to managerial aspects. What I mean to say is that that was more of a crash training, where I couldn't stick to one section alone. The interview which Im attending is more of a technical one. What I would like to know, how and what I should be preparing? I have two weeks for the preparation. Should I go through the normal automobile aspects or everything in random. PS: I have excellent communication skills, the one area in which I'm very confident.
