Abstract

The objective of this project is to increase the delivery head of the existing pump by incorporating modifications in the impeller design without altering the existing power consumption. Typical submersible pump used in the industry has 20 stages and it operates with an input power of 7.5HP. For drought hit zone water cannot obtained with at a depth of 210 metres. The present available model of the impeller is thoroughly studied and analysed. Tests are conducted on the present models and reports are generated. With the help of velocity triangles diagram it is found by changing the design of the impeller by reducing the impeller width, the flow decreases which in turn increases the head. Also when number of blades is increased from 4 to 5 pressures is increased. By implementing the above concept and proceeding with the calculations and experiments it is found that the delivery head of the pump is increased.
