Performance Optimization of Mixed Flow Impeller by Ansys CFX
Abstract
flow of mixed flow pump is presented here and compared. The
results agree well with measurements at best efficiency flow
conditions. The overall range of H-Q characteristics is predicted and
has matched well with the measurements. The predictions for
efficiency at the design of flow conditions are seen to be deviating
from the one actually measured. Some more investigation are needs
to be done in this direction. Similar exercise is being carried out for
pumps with different specific speeds.The CFD analysis is an
effective tool to calculate the effect of design and operating
parameter of pump.
