•• The shaft and impeller The shaft and impeller assembly is mounted assembly is mounted eccentrically relative to the eccentrically relative to the pump casing pump casing
•• As the impeller rotates the As the impeller rotates the service liquid ( which is service liquid ( which is continually supplied to the continually supplied to the pump ), is forced outwards by pump ), is forced outwards by centrifugal force to form a centrifugal force to form a liquid ring revolving concentric liquid ring revolving concentric to the pump casing.to the pump casing.

Stall Condition
The angular relationship between the air flow impinging on the blade of a fan and the blade itself is known as “the angle of attack”.
In axial flow fan, when this angle exceeds a certain limit, the air flow over the blade separates from the surface and centrifugal force then throws the air outwards, towards the rim of blades. This action causes a build up of pressure at the blade tip, and this pressure causes a build up of pressure at the blade tip, and this pressure increases until it can be relieved at the clearance between the tip and the casing.
Under this condition the operation of the fan becomes unstable, vibration sets in and the flow starts to oscillate. The risk of stall increases if a fan is oversized or if the system resistance increase excessively.
