As per the Picture left, number of blades are cut
symmetrically on the two sides of the pump impeller,
whose rotation generates friction force F (that pushes
the liquid in the direction of rotation) and centrifugal
force C (that swings the liquid out in the crosswise
direction of rotation). With the action of force F and C,
vortexes are formed at the water passage inside the
pump casing as per Picture center, and the liquid is
driven out of the pump in high pressure. Even small
single stage impeller is capable of generate high
pressure in the water passage inside the pump casing because it is pressurized by the continuous centrifugal forces.
And as shown in the Picture right, with the increase in discharge resistance at the outlet, the rotation will increase
and high pressure is acquired.
