Pumps are mechanical devices that move fluids by mechanical action. There are two main types of pumps: positive displacement pumps which use mechanical means to move a fixed volume of fluid with each cycle, and dynamic head pumps which use centrifugal force to move fluid by increasing its velocity and kinetic energy. Positive displacement pumps include reciprocating and rotary pumps while centrifugal pumps are the main type of dynamic head pump.
