Design and Analysis of Mixed Flow Pump Impeller

Mixed flow pump impeller is a centrifugal pump device where the transition of fluid flow takes place in both axial and radial direction. In this work a mixed flow pump impeller has been designed using CATIA V5 software tool and analyzed using the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and turbo machinery. As per many researchers there are many methods are used to design the impeller but still the optimized design of the mixed flow pump impeller blade has been a cumbersome work. The impeller blades have been designed by varying the semi cone angle. The CFD analysis is the advanced tool used in pump industry to improve the efficiency hence the CFD analysis is carried over the model to predict analytical values and to solve problems the problems that involves the fluid flow using ANSYS workbench 16.0. Because of its anti corrosive property stainless steel is used as material for impeller and water liquid used as a fluent which flow around the impeller. From the CFD analysis the velocity and pressure in the outlet is predicted. The outlet values will be useful for calculating the efficiency of the pump. B. Naresh | P. Krishna | N. Sunny Deepak | P.
