Abstract
In this work, a research on mathematical models and impeller projects was carried out, whose application focus on centrifugal pumps, with emphasis on backward-facing blades. As Euler’s Law states, said hydraulic turbomachine transforms mechanical energy into pressure energy to the working fluid, which in this case is water. As for the details of this project, the goal was to design a high-efficiency rotor, able to overcome a pressure head of 15 mH2O, using an already known pump. The mathematical model was elaborated based on the speed diagram, considering a steady state system, in addition to constant inlet and outlet speeds between sections. With the defined geometric aspects, a CAD model of real dimensions was crafted, aiming to build 3D printed prototype.
