Progress Report
For the design of the centrifugal pump we will first set the
rotational speed, N, to be 1385rpm, design flow rate, Q, to be -
2m3/h and head, H, to be 1m.
Now that the parameters have been set, we can now proceed to
designing the centrifugal pump.
For the preliminary design of the centrifugal pump, we will be
using the software CFturbo®—a software dedicated for
turbomachinery design. During the process of designing the
centrifugal pump, we will be using the suggested parameters of
the said software. The suggested parameters can be seen in the
Figure 1.
The said software, after having put the parameters stated above,
suggested having 9 impeller vanes, 34-mm suction diameter, 63-
mm impeller diameter, 10-mm outlet width, and 3-mm hub
diameter for the impeller. Figure 2 shows the other relevant
parameters that CFturbo® proposed.
For now, we have opted to design only the impeller as we still
need to explore more of the software. Figure 3 shows the
preliminary design of the impeller the centrifugal pump.
The reason we used CFturbo® is so that we can get a better idea
and see the bigger picture on designing the centrifugal pump.
