Abstract

A slurry mixture impellers are the most important part of thermal power plant. In this paper, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is carried out on the performance of slurry mixture blade. The performance is based on the pressure variation on the mixture blade. Computational investigation was conducted on blades with a linear velocity and density is 4 m/s and 1440 kg/m3 respectively. In the present work, analysis has done with two different material namely grey cast iron and nickel. The pressure was compared between these two materials. After calculating the result, we will suggest which material is good for impeller. The slurry impeller is modelled using CREO software and CFD analysis is carried out using ANSYS software. A k- ε turbulence model is used in CFD analysis. The model has been developed with actual geometric parameters.
