rotating equipment is also known as rotating machinery

it can be defined as machinery with rotor(s) which is based on the theory of energy conservation

the form of energy changes but the total energy is conserved ideally

the related energy forms are 1) electric energy 2) fluid energy (potential energy & kinetic energy) 3) mechanical energy (kinetic energy) 4) combustion energy

in a centrifugal pump which is driven by a electric motor :

the armature is spinned by converting electric energy into (mechanical) kinetic energy

the coupling transmits the (mechanical) kinetic energy from armature to pump shaft

the impeller converts (mechanical) kinetic energy to (fluid) kinetic enegry

the (fluid) kinetic enegry will be balanced by (fluid) potential enegry

there are 4 big families of rotating equipment 1) pump 2) compressor 3) fan 4) turbine
