dc.description.abstractIn this study, the flow structure in a centrifugal pump was numerically investigated for the different blade numbers in the impeller between 5 and 9. The pump used in the study is a single-stage horizontal shafted centrifugal pump. The original pump impeller was designed as 7 blades for the parameters of flow rate Q=100 m(3)/h, head Hm=180 kPa and revolution n=1480 rpm. First, models of impellers with the different blade numbers between 5 and 9 and the volute section of the centrifugal pump were separately drawn using Solidworks software. Later, grid structures were generated on the flow volume of the pump. Last, the flow analyses were performed and the flow characteristics under different operational conditions were determined numerically. In the numerical analyses, k-e turbulence model and standard wall functions were used to solve turbulent flow. Balance holes and surface roughness, which adversely affect the hydraulic efficiency of pumps, were also considered. The obtained results of the analyses show that the hydraulic torque and head values have increased with the application of higher number of the impeller blades. For the impellers with 5 and 9 blades on the design flow rate of 100 m(3)/h (Q/Qd=1), the hydraulic torque and head were found 49/59.1 Nm and 153.1/184.4 kPa, respectively. Subsequently the hydraulic efficiencies of each pump were calculated. As a result, the highest hydraulic efficiency on the design flow rate was calculated as 54.16% for the pump impeller having 8 blades.en_US
