Design and Analysis of Centrifugal Pump Impeller for Optimizing Strength & Weight of Impeller

Abstract

The pump is mechanical device which conveys liquid from one place to another place. It can be defined as a hydraulic machine which converts the mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. If mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid, for conveying liquid from one place to another then that pump is called centrifugal pump. It is a similar to a reversed of an inward radial flow reaction turbine. In this pump flow of liquid is in radial outward direction. The impeller increases kinetic energy of liquid which is coming from sump. Our project is industrial defined project. Shreeji diesel is the industry which gives us a project for optimizing the strength and the weight of centrifugal pump impeller.  In our project, we are doing analysis on Mild Steel & Stainless steel pump impeller in order to optimize strength of centrifugal pump. Our Project gives the static & Modal analysis of Mild Steel & Stainless steel Pump Impeller to check strength of Pump & vibrations produced by pump.
