What is pumps?

Pumps are mechanical devices used to move fluids (liquids or gases) by increasing their pressure or providing a force to overcome gravity and friction. They are widely used in various applications, including water supply, irrigation, sewage management, industrial processes, oil and gas production, and medical devices. Different types of pumps exist, such as centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps (e.g., piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, gear pumps), and jet pumps, each suited for specific fluid types and flow/pressure requirements.
