A pump is a device used to transport liquids or gases
Centrifugal pumps transport liquids with a gas content of less than 5%, while twin-screw pumps used for transporting liquid-gas mixtures can tolerate a higher gas content
The pump here is not necessarily a centrifugal pump
Pumps are primarily used for liquid transfer; some pumps are capable of transferring gas-liquid mixtures as well as liquid-solid mixtures, but they certainly cannot handle pure gases
Compressors transport gases, while pumps generally transport liquids, at least in general cases.
In fluid transport, liquids are generally pumped while gases are compressed.
