Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or elec

A turbopump is an assembly consisting of a liquid pump driven by a gas turbine, connected via a shaft. They were initially developed in the US and Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. While other use cases
Part of an axial turbopump designed and built for the M-1 rocket engine. Axial designs are rare in turbopumps aside from a few liquid hydrogen pumps.
Robert Goddard's turbopump for his "P-Series" rockets. While rudimentary compared to modern practices, notice the pump inlet on the left, pump discharge in the foreground, turbine manifold inlet in the background, and turbine wheel on the right.
The V-2 rocket used a circular turbopump to pressurize the propellant.
