Abstract
The noise induced by centrifugal pump is one of the main concerns in the design and optimization of onboard equipment for ships and submarines. In this work, an attempt has been made to estimate the natural frequency of centrifugal pump with an ordinary conventional steel material foundation. Later, the conventional foundation is replaced with composite material with carbon reinforcement. The vibration studies are accomplished by using FE software ANSYS 18.1. The natural frequencies of centrifugal pump with steel foundation are compared with natural frequencies of centrifugal pump with composite raft foundation. It is observed that the natural frequencies are enhanced by providing composite material foundation.
