Abstract
The centrifugal pump impeller is very important in the industry since its widely used functions. However, the impeller performance of centrifugal pumps varies since centrifugal pump impellers come in various designs. This study presents the parametric investigation of the centrifugal pump impeller to understand its mechanical aspects under various impeller parameters. The finite element analysis method was used in this study to simulate the loading acting on the impeller. The physical parameters of the impeller were considered based on the existing design of the centrifugal pump impeller. The simulation analysis revealed that the changes in physical parameters significantly influenced the mechanical aspects. It is believed that the simulation results can increase the understanding of centrifugal pump impeller design for engineers in the pump industry.
