A water pump is a machine that transports or pressurizes a liquid. It transfers the mechanical energy of the prime mover or other external energy to the liquid, increasing the liquid energy, and is mainly used to transport liquids including water, oil, acid-base liquid, emulsion, suspoemulsion and liquid metal. Liquids, gas mixtures and liquids with suspended solids can also be transported. The technical parameters of pump performance include flow, suction, head, shaft power, water power, efficiency, etc. http://www.zlocomotive.com/water-pump/
