    - A device which transfers input mechanical energy of an engine into pressure or kinetic energy or both of a fluid is called as pump.

    - It converts mechanical energy of fuel into hydraulic energy.

    - Pump is used to lift fluid from low level to high level or transfer from one place to other.

    - Pumps are classified as positive displacement pumps and rotodynamic pumps.
