Abstract : Centrifugal pumps exploit the transformation of rotating kinetic energy into hydrodynamic energy to move fluid. They are a subclass of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbo machines. In order to aid in pump design, this project uses computational fluid dynamics software to explore intricate internal flows in centrifugal pump impellers. Three distinct kinds of pump impellers were taken in this instance. Pump specs under consideration include speed and discharge. These parameters have been adjusted in order to conduct a comparison analysis of these pump impellers. The plane between blades is modeled in CFD software is used to perform the flow analysis in addition to CAD software. As a consequence, the pressure and velocity distributions were the basis for the valid results, and the computational results were used to compare the pumps' respective performances.

Keywords : Centrifugal Pump, Axisymmetric, Computational Fluid Dynamics.
