Abstract

It is important to increase the production rate of oil and gas as the usage of them is increasing day by day. To increase the production rate of oil and gas, design of an efficient centrifugal pump impeller plays very important role. Due to the usual submergible pump, there might be the chances for failure and it is so complex when the pump is failed. So an alternative method such as artificial lift is necessary on behalf of submergible pumps for different flow rates. In the present study, 3D simulation of impeller and its stationary flow of centrifugal pump casing are analyzed using CFD. Pressure head and efficiency of the pump for different flow rates are analyzed as well as the data from pump manufacturers are taken and have good satisfactory agreement. Finally, the structural analysis of single impeller blade is carried out by changing different materials. These data are very useful to design the pumps in manufacturing industries.
