SOLUTION:
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.
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.
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.
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:
