The Past of Water Pump

The Past of Water Pump

Water pumps are machines that transport or pressurize liquids. It transmits the mechanical energy of the prime mover or other external energy to the liquid, which increases the energy of the liquid. Water pumps are mainly used to transport liquids including water, oil, acid and alkali liquids, emulsions, suspension emulsions and liquid metals. They can also transport liquids, gas mixtures and liquids containing suspended solids. The improvement of water is very important for human life and production. There have been various water-lifting devices in ancient times, such as chain pumps in Egypt (17th century BC), orange tarts in China (17th century BC), cormorants (11th century BC), and waterwheels (1st century AD).
