Design of a New Centrifugal Pump Impeller

Nowadays, the usage of computer software to assist designer for designing equipment has been highly regarded. The objective of this project is to understand the basic principle of centrifugal pump and also the procedure to design the centrifugal pump impeller. Besides that, other objective of this project is to construct the designed impeller in 2D and 3D model. The problem identified for this project is the challenge for the pump designer to design the new centrifugal pump impeller with best possible performance. Besides that, pump designer can only rely to the previous data to design the impeller and also based on the past experience. Basically, there are various stages required to complete the project within the timeline. After the project has been defined, the detailed research is performed. The next phase of the project is the designing stage which is when the impeller is designed by using the Computer Aided Design (CAD). Each parts of the centrifugal pump impeller should be designed according to the research and calculation obtained. As the result, the data had been obtained according to the basic specification of the new centrifugal pump. Based on the data, the impeller has been constructed in 2D and 3D model. Besides that, the right material selection of the centrifugal pump impeller has been identified. As the conclusion, this project is successful and the objectives have been completed within the time frame.
