Propeller is external (outboard motor on a boat)

Impeller is internal (vehicle water pump).

What is the difference between impeller and propeller vanes?

An impeller is a rotor inside a pump through which the liquid flows to create a pressure gradient.A propeller is used to propel a vessel.In pump impeller liquid moves i.e. pump is stationary. In a vessel propeller the vessel moves through a liquid or gas!@ please iwant to know the physical meaning of NPSHNet Positive Suction Head


What is the difference betwee impeller and propeler?

An impeller is a rotor used to increase the pressure and flow of a fluid whereas a propeller is a type of fan that produces thrust by moving air or water. In general, impellers are found in pumps and compressors, while propellers are commonly used in boats and aircraft.


Explain how energy hydroelectric is harnessed from flowing water?

Water is allowed to flow through an impeller. This drives the impeller around. A mechanical shaft from the impeller is connector to the rotor of a dynamo/alternator. Since the rotor (a coil of wires) is revolving inside a magnet , this generates electricity in the dynamo/alternator. The mechanical shaft is the same to a steam turbine in a thermal/nuclear power station, thereby the process is the same. NB An 'Impellor' is the same as a propeller , the difference being that an impeller rotates because of flowing water through it, whereas a propeller is rotated by mechanical mean to make the object flow through water.


Where is the impeller on a sand pump?

An impeller in a pump is the part that the motor spins that actually does the work of moving the water. Due to it's design when it spins it creates a vacuum that pulls the water in the middle of an opening on the front of the impeller and throws it to the outside where it is then channeled to the output of the pump.


Difference between compressor and pump rotor?

The only one difference in b/w compressor and pump rotor is impeller shroud width.Fluid is incompressible so impeller shroud width is not change and gas is compressible so impellers are tends to thin in width to the discharge side.


How does a propeller vehicle use air resistance?

A propeller vehicle uses air resistance to generate forward thrust. As the propeller spins, it creates a pressure difference between the front and back of the propeller, causing the vehicle to move forward. The air resistance acts against the motion of the propeller, helping to propel the vehicle forward.


How does a propeller move a object?

A propeller moves an object by generating thrust through the rotation of its blades. As the blades spin, they create a pressure difference between the front and back of the propeller, pushing air or water in one direction and creating a force that propels the object forward.


What is the relationship between pump impeller diameter and pump horsepower?

The brake horsepower varies as a cube of the impeller diameter.


What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?

voloute convord the pressure into volicity and the mixtur of propallere and impeller is called turbine pump


Explain the effect of cavitation on propeller blades?

The BLADES ON THE IMPELLER GATHER BUBBLES AND POP. THE POP OF THE BUBBLES BREAK AND INDENT THE IMPELLER AND GUIDEVANE THAT HELPS THE WATER OR FLUID GO FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE IMPELLER TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE IMPELLER. THE SOUND OF CAVITATION IS LIKE PUMPING GRAVEL THROUGH THE VOLUTE OR CASE. IF THE PUMP IS CAVITATING YOU CAN SLOWING CLOSE A BALL VALVE ON THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF THE PUMP ON A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP AND THE GRAVEL NOISE WILL GO AWAY AND YOU KNOW THE PUMP IS CAVITATING. CAVATION WILL DESTROY AN IMPELLER VERY FAST BY IMPLODING BUBBLES ON THE METAL OR PLASTIC UNTILL THE PUMP WILL NOT RUN.


What is difference between axial flow and centrifugal LVAD?

Axial flow LVADs have a propeller-like rotor that spins along the device's long axis to propel blood forward, while centrifugal flow LVADs use a rotating impeller to draw blood into the device and then expel it outward. Centrifugal flow LVADs are generally more compact and have fewer moving parts compared to axial flow LVADs.


How does a propeller work?

A propeller works by converting the rotation of the engine into horizontal thrust similar to a fan. The blades push the air backwards creating acceleration, and create a difference in pressure between the forward and rear surface adding to the movement. The above is, of course true for a boat propeller. For an airplane propeller Bernoulli's pincipal is involved. Bernoulli's principle states that the greater the speed of a fluid, the less the lateral pressure. So the propeller uses the same deal as the wing.
