QUESTION:
An impeller and diffuser-ring assembly is to be designed for a
centrifugal water pump that has a discharge of 0.25 m 3/s at a speed of
1720 rpm. The following data is provided:
Radial diffuser ring: Inlet diameter 365 mm, Outlet diameter 405
mm, Inlet and outlet widths are equal, Inlet vane angle 17°, Outlet
vane angle 20° , Number of vanes is 8

SOLUTION:

1. GEOMETRY ON SOLID WORKS:

2. BLADE ANGLES:
3. IMPORTING GEOMETRY TO WORKBENCH:
First we have made the geometry of the diffuser ring by using
SOLIDWORKS. The given dimension of radial diffuser ring as Inlet
diameter 365 mm, Outlet diameter 405 mm, Inlet and outlet widths are
equal, Inlet vane angle 17 degree, Outlet vane angle 20 degree (as
highest roll no is 325) . Number of vanes is 8

4. FINAL GEOMETRY:
The final geometry on which we will work on workbench: (fluid
domain)
5. THE PARTS OF GEOMETRY:
a. Outlet:
The outer diameter of the diffuser ring is the outlet of pump discharge.

b. Inlet:
The inner diameter of the diffuser ring is the inlet for the fluid entering
the pump.
c. Blades:
The diffuser fin is taken as blades of the diffuser assembly of the pump.

6. The Fluid Domain:


Generating a computational domain is necessary in workbench fluent so
under a controlled geometry we can simulate the flow, for this we
develop a fluid domain for our geometry.
7. MESHING:
a. Methods:
We use All triangles method for
meshing to get fine meshing.
b. Sizing:

i. Using Y calculator for calculating edge sizing


ii Edge Sizing: In order to capture iii Body Sizing: To get fine
meshing
the boundary layer conditions we use sizing of element as 3mm.
We have to first calculate the
Boundary layer thickness and
define the size of the element
to get the final meshing.
8. FINAL MESHED GEOMETRY:
After selecting appropriate boundary conditions and sizing the elements,
final mesh is generated to ANSYS workbench.
9. SETUP:
Now we move to the setup of workbench fluent and selecting the double
precision method for our analysis.

10. MODELS:
We select the viscous laminar and select standard wall functions as
boundary conditions are defined previously.
11. MATERIALS:
We select water liquid from fluent database.

12. CELL ZONE CONDITION:


In cell zone condition, select water liquid as fluid domain for our
simulation work.

13. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:


We select inlet and give value for inlet velocity and other boundary
conditions.

14. MONITORS:
a. Residual:
In residual monitors we select residual and then we select monitor check
convergence absolute criteria and make convergence of x10-5.

15. CALCULATION RUN:


In this we have run our simulation by 1500 number of iterations.

16. ITERATIONS CURVE PLOTTING:


The graph is plotted by fluent as our simulation calculation value
converges by a number of 1500 iterations.

17. CFD POST ANALYSIS:


a. Velocity Contour:
In CFD post analysis first we have developed the velocity contour by
locating symmetry 1, as following:

VELOCITY CONTOUR PLOT:

b. PRESSURE CONTOUR:
Now in CFD post analysis we have simulated the pressure contour by
selecting the details of the contour as shown in the figure below:
