Design; Development and Testing of an Impeller of Open Well Submersible Pump for Performance Improvement
Pranit M. Patil, Sangram S. Patil, Dr. R. G. Todkar
Abstract: Water pump design is well facilitated by the modern development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The key parameters in pump impeller design are inlet and outlet diameters; inlet and outlet blade angles. These parameters play very important role in deciding the pump performance in terms of pressure head and flow rate developed for given input power consumption. This research work is devoted to use theoretical analysis in combination with CFD concepts for determination of optimum value of blade angle for maximum pressure head and discharge for water pump.
