USE OF CFD FOR IMPROVING DESIGN OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMP: A REVIEW

Abstract

Pumps are found to be one of the vital applications in industries and resident. Several factor affect pump operation and working including their physical arrangement, impeller condition, velocity, suction head, exhaust head, and liquid properties etc. lowered capacity, trembling, condensed efficiency, and cavitations could cause severe problems like suction head available, extreme suction lift, trivial inlet submergence. Category of connection and arrangement are the suction circumstances. The conventional geometry is not efficient centrifugal pump and thus reduced discharge on the delivery side. Impeller is being designed for this work. The previous and modified configurations are studied using CFD techniques while; the best configuration is discovered from the selected geometries.
