4. Water Pump :
The water pump is a simple centrifugal pump
driven by belt. The pump circulates the engine
coolant when it is driven by the engine.
The water pump uses centrifugal force to send
fluid to the outside while it spins, causing fluid to
be drawn from the center continuously. The inlet
to the pump is located near the center so that fluid
returning from the radiator hits the pump vanes.
The pump vanes filling the fluid to the outside of
the pump, where it can enter the engine.
The fluid leaving the pump flows first through the
engine block and cylinder head, then into the
radiator and finally back to the pump.
