In this book the CFD analysis of a centrifugal pump is done using k-ε turbulent modeling and SIMPLEC algorithm from which the velocity and pressure contours are plotted for different operating conditions. In this work the mass flow rate is varied three times for two different fluids that are water and fuel oil. First the mass flow rate is decreased by 10% from the initial value of mass flow rate and then increased by 10% from the initial value of mass flow rate. Using the results of varying mass flow rate the efficiency at different mass flow rate is calculated. The results are compared...

Turbine is the most critical component in hydropower plants as it affects the cost as well as overall performance of the plant. Hence, for the cost effective design of any hydropower project, it is very important to predict the hydraulic behavior and efficiency of hydro turbines before they are used. Experimental approach of predicting the performance of hydro turbine is costly and time consuming compared to CFD approach. This research work describes the fluid flow conditions and flow parameters within a radial turbine with regards to each part of the turbine. Fluid flow conditions and flow...
