centrifugal-pump-design

Design a centrifugal pump impeller from first principles by inputting flow rate, head, speed, and fluid properties to calculate specific speed, Euler head, impeller dimensions, and performance estimates.

Euler equations and velocity triangles calculate theoretical head and blade kinematics. By analyzing inlet and outlet velocity vectors, you determine impeller eye diameter, outlet diameter, and optimal blade angles for targeted flow and head conditions.

Yes, you can estimate efficiency and performance curves for multi-stage centrifugal pumps. The analysis computes Euler head, slip effects, and power requirements to generate performance estimates across different operating conditions.

Calculating specific speed and impeller dimensions requires inputs for flow rate, total head, rotational speed, and fluid properties. These parameters define the duty point and enable preliminary sizing of the impeller eye and outlet diameters.

Yes, this first principles approach applies to both single- and multi-stage centrifugal pump configurations. It handles preliminary impeller sizing, head estimation, and efficiency analysis for various design scenarios and duty points.
