Abstract |
|
Centrifugal pumps are widely used in various industrial, agriculture and residential sector where requirements of head and discharge are moderate. They are also a major source of energy wastage. It was estimated that more than 10-15 % of world energy and about consumes 60 % of energy processing plant consume by pumps. Therefore, optimization of pump for improving its efficiency was aim of this research. This research paper mainly focused on optimization of centrifugal pumps impeller and volute casing using Ansys and design of experiments as tool for analysis. CFD analysis will provide effective results for studying different parameters of pump and also for multi parameter optimization of centrifugal pump geometry for getting higher efficiency .The single stage end suction centrifugal pump was consider for analysis. Such pumps were mainly used in processing industries for different type of fluids. |
