What happens in the volute casing of the centrifugal pump?
Direct Answer
Option C: Kinetic energy converted into pressure energy
In a centrifugal pump's volute casing, the high-velocity liquid discharged from the impeller slows down. This reduction in velocity converts the kinetic energy into pressure energy, enabling the liquid to be discharged against system resistance.
