Abstract

With FLUENT, which is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, it becomes possible to define the performance of complicated flow in turbo machines like pumps and blowers. It is not only reduced costs but also saves time. This study is aimed to optimize a commercial slurry pump impeller. Therefore, four different types of impellers were designed with using various blade angles, blade length and splitter blade on the impeller, which is the most crucial component of the pump. As a result of analysis it was seen that every impeller affected on the pump performance at different flow rate.
