Design Optimization of a Centrifugal Pump Impeller using RSM and Design of Volute

Kwon-Bum Pyun, Joon-Hyung Kim, Young-Seok Choi, Joon‐Yong Yoon

Abstract

In this study, optimization of the impeller and design of volute were carried out in order to improve the performance of a centrifugal pump. Design parameters from vane plane development for impeller design were selected, and effect of the design parameters on the performance of the pump was analyzed by using Response Surface Methodology(RSM) to optimized impeller. In addition, total pump design method was suggested by designing volute which was suitable for the optimized impeller through volute design where Stepanoff theory was applied and numerical analysis.
