Principle, Types
Subject and UNIT: Basic Civil & Mechanical Engineering: UNIT IV: f. Pumps
A Reciprocating Pump converts the mechanical energy into pressure energy by sucking the liquid into a cylinder, in which a piston is reciprocating. It uses piston or plunger to positively displace the liquid during each stroke of the piston.

Subject and UNIT: Basic Civil & Mechanical Engineering: UNIT IV: d. Hydraulic Turbines
If, at the inlet of the turbine, energy available is only kinetic energy, the turbine is known as Impulse Turbine.
Classification - Basic Mechanical Engineering
Subject and UNIT: Basic Civil & Mechanical Engineering: UNIT IV: d. Hydraulic Turbines
Hydraulic Turbines: Hydraulic turbines are defined as hydraulic machines which convert hydraulic energy (energy possessed by water) into mechanical energy. In other words, hydraulic turbines absorb the energy in falling water and make it available for useful work.
