- An
impeller, or
impellor, is a
driven rotor used to
increase the
pressure and flow of a fluid. It is the
opposite of a turbine,
which extracts energy...
- A
flexible impeller pump is a positive-displacement pump that, by
deforming impeller vanes,
draws the
liquid into the pump
housing and
moves it to the...

Centrifugal compressors,
sometimes called impeller compressors or
radial compressors, are a sub-class of
dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery...

-
coefficient of the
impeller vanes will
increase drastically—possibly
stopping flow altogether—and
prolonged exposure will
