• Task objectives
• Input data
• Blade profile calculation
• Calculating the hub and shroud profile
• Importing the geometry to Pro/E
• Creating the 3D model in Pro/E
Task objectives
3
• Creating a Mathcad spreadsheet capable of generating the
complete geometry of a Centrifugal pump impeller with a single
curve blade profile
• Importing the geometry in associative mode to Pro/Engineer:
dynamic updating of the CAD geometry based on the
modifications made to the spreadsheet
Input data
4
Constraints linked to pump performance:
• Flow rate (Q)
• Head (H)
• Number of revolutions (n)
• Pressure parameter (Ψ) and flow parameter (Φ) graphs in relation to
the typical machine number (this data can be obtained from the literature)
Input data
5
• Calculating several geometrical parameters of the impeller:
• Impeller outlet diameter (D2)
• Inlet blade angle (β1)
• Outlet blade angle (β2)
• This calculation is carried out by iteratively solving implicit functions
(“Find” function in Mathcad)
• The formula to find β2 (Wiesner) is
given as an example
Input data
6
The user inputs the remaining impeller geometrical parameters:
• Impeller inlet diameter
• Hub diameter
• Blade inlet diameter
• Blade thickness (inlet, mid-span, outlet)
• Blade thickness variation law
• Number of blades
• Impeller outlet port
Input data
7
Volumetric output curves in relation to the
characteristic kinematic number (data that
can be obtained from the literature or from
prior company know-how)
Blade profile calculation
8
Calculate the velocity triangles at the impeller inlet and outlet
Blade profile calculation
9
Calculate the time for the fluid streamline to cross through the impeller
(hypothesis: the mean acceleration of the fluid streamline within the impeller
is constant)
Blade profile calculation
10
Calculate the angular coordinate of the fluid streamline:
Calculate the radial coordinate of the fluid streamline: it is obtained by
integrating the mean component of the absolute velocity
Blade profile calculation
11
Blade profile and “camber line” thickening plot driven by the thickness form
functions
Blade profile calculation
12
Exporting the blade profile to Pro/engineer
Hub profile calculation
13
The hub profile comprises three geometrical entities:
1) Vertical section
2) Curvature
3) Inclined section
Hub profile calculation
14
The inputs are:
• Angle of inclination of the inclined section
• Radius of curvature
The design coordinates of the hub are calculated and exported to
Pro/engineer.
Shroud profile calculation
15
The shroud profile is made up of a single geometrical entity : it is built up
by imposing a linear variation on the transit area
Shroud profile
Shroud profile calculation
16
In the curvature zone the transit area
consists of a cone segment
Shroud profile calculation
17
• The area is parametrized according to the angle of curvature
• Imposing a linear type variation of the area, it is possible to calculate the
shroud profile using Mathcad
Shroud profile calculation
18
• Solution equation
Shroud profile calculation
19
Checking for correct transit area trend using the BMX feature of Pro/engineer
Importing the geometry into Pro/E
20
• The geometry and parameters calculated using Mathcad are exported to
Pro/Engineer
• The spreadsheet is dynamically connected to the 3D model: each
modification of the design parameters gives rise to the geometry being
automatically reconstructed
Importing the geometry to Pro/E
