Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are related to a centrifugal pump system including a cylinder. The cylinder may have a cylinder bottom with a cylinder inlet and lower chamber, a cylinder body with a plurality of longitudinal channels, and a cylinder top with a plurality of spouts. The system may include an annulus with a circular channel and an outlet. The cylinder and lower chamber may be structured to rotate. The dimensions of the longitudinal channels may be sized by dividing the cylinder inlet area by the number of channels and in some embodiments reducing that quotient. Furthermore, the spouts may further reduce the area of fluid flow delivered by the longitudinal channels.
