Abstract
In industry, centrifugal pumps play a crucial role in the distribution of water, essential for the smooth
running of industrial processes and the cooling of machines. These pumps offer great versatility in
terms of capacity and pressure, suitable for a variety of applications. This mini-project focuses on a
specific centrifugal pump, designed to produce a flow rate of 30 m3/hour, with a delivery head of 10
meters, rotating at 1500 rpm and generating a pressure difference of 10 bars between its inlet and its
exit.
The design of these centrifugal pumps is planned using CF Turbo 10.4 software.
The application of this software is based on the parameters of a centrifugal pump for water at a
temperature of 20°C, with a specific density of 1 kg/dm3. The software results include detailed
information such as diameter, shape, number and geometric representation of the blades.
In this planning, the adjustment of the three variables (Hub, Middle and Shroud) as well as the
variation of the number of blades will be explored in order to optimize the efficiency of the
centrifugal-pump.
