2. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

   Water pumping. The pumping of water is a basic and practical technique, far more practical than scooping it up with one's hands or lifting it in a hand-held bucket. This is true whether the water is drawn from a fresh source, moved to a needed location, purified, or used for irrigation, washing, or sewage treatment, or for evacuating water from ...

3. Submersible pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersible_pump

   A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between the pump ...

4. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   A large, electrically driven pump for waterworks near the Hengsteysee, Germany. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, [ 1 ] by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic energy. Mechanical pumps serve in a wide range of applications such as pumping water from wells ...

5. Micropump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropump

   Micropump. A Ti–Cr–Pt tube (~40 μm long) releases oxygen bubbles when immersed in hydrogen peroxide (catalytic decomposition). Polystyrene spheres (1 μm diameter) were added to study the flow kinetics. [1] Electrochemical micropump activating the flow of human blood through a 50×100 μm pipe. [2]

6. Hand pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

   Hand pump. Animation of a suction hand pump. On the up stroke of the piston the foot valve opens and suction brings water into the pump head. On the following down stroke of the piston the valve on the piston opens up and allows water to flow above the piston. On the successive up stroke of the piston water is pushed out of the outlet.

7. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   A hydraulic ram pump, ram pump, or hydram is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one "hydraulic head" (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate. The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to ...
