Abstract:
Static analysis and Experimentation of submersible pump impeller using composite materials are used in naval applications now a day. Considering structural strength of impeller of submersible pump, weight to the strength ratio is important for this work. So, weight reduction of submersible pump is most important for optimization. Impeller weight and structure are responsible for mechanical loss that reduces the power transferred from the motor shaft to the pump impeller. The composite material made it possible to reduce the weight of mechanical component without any reduction of its capacity. The present work aims at observing the choice of E-Glass as an alternative to metal for better material optimization. In this paper a Kirloskar KS6D submersible pump impeller has been taken for design & optimization by using experimental and FEA in ANSYS 16 software. FEA approach is validated by experimental method.
