Summary background: Draft 1 + thesis

The article "Submersible Pump: Working, Types, Applications, & How To Prime It" by Waqar (n.d.), introduces the function and design features of the Submersible Pump.  According to Waqar (n.d.), the function of a Submersible Pump is to transport fluid from one place to another while the pump is fully submerged in the fluid. It is able to achieve this by preventing fluids from entering the motor with its hermetically sealed motor design. This helps to improve the pump's longevity and increase operational efficiency. As a result of its submersible attribute, the pump does not experience cavitation and has no need for priming. The Submersible Pump design features a multistage centrifugal pump. The multistage centrifugal pump involves a rotating impeller powered by the motor. It provides rotational energy to the fluid which is then converted to kinetic energy. Between each impeller is a diffuser, which compresses and increases the pressure energy of the fluid (Waqar, n.d.). Hence, Submersible Pumps are preferred in leachate management facilities because of its reliability in reducing the risk of cavitation and effectiveness at removing leachate.
