Abstract
Pumps and fans all belong to fluid machinery which can be used to transport fluids. Pumps are always used to transport liquids and fans are always used to transport gases. In this chapter, we will first discuss the characteristics of centrifugal pump, including its head rise, efficiency, performance curves. Then we will introduce system curve and pump selection. Finally, we will indicate some basic concepts about centrifugal fan.
