Abstract

The Centrifugal pump is a device which is mostly used for transporting liquid from lower level head to higher level head. Centrifugal pumps are used for, sewage, oil refineries, hydraulic power services, food processing factories, mines, chemical plants, irrigation, water supply plants and steam power plants because of suitability in various practical services. In centrifugal pumps the mechanical energy will be converted into hydraulic energy. The main components of centrifugal pump are casing and impeller therefore; they must be designed carefully for best performance of pump. The main goal of this work is to present design and analysis of centrifugal pump impeller by finite element analysis for four different materials Mild steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum alloy and Epoxy glass fiber composite material. Centrifugal pump impeller is modeled into 3D using Solid works 2015, using Ansys Software 2016 impeller material properties are given Stresses and Deformation in X, Y, Z directions are investigated. A structural analysis will be carried out to investigate the stresses, strains and displacements of the centrifugal pump impeller in Ansys Workbench. The paper gives static analysis of Impeller of different materials to check strength and deformation of Pump and found that the impeller with Epoxy glass fiber composite material is best compared to other material like MS, SS, and AA.
