How do both the primary jet pump and the transfer jet pumps operate?

The primary jet pump and transfer jet pumps operate based on the principle of Venturi flow. This principle involves the use of a fluid moving through a nozzle, which creates a change in pressure. When the fluid flows through a constricted area, it speeds up, and as a result, the pressure drops. This pressure drop causes fluids from surrounding areas to be drawn towards the pump, effectively allowing the jet pump to move fluid from one location to another.

In the case of both the primary jet pump and transfer jet pumps, they utilize jets of fluid to create a low-pressure area that facilitates the movement of other fluids. This mechanism is efficient and widely used in various engineering applications to convey fluids without the need for mechanical moving parts, making it a fundamental example of how fluid dynamics can be applied in pumping systems.
