In this study, optimization of the impeller and design of volute were carried out in order to improve the performance of a centrifugal pump. Design parameters from vane plane development for impeller design were selected, and effect of the design parameters on the performance of the pump was analyzed by using Response Surface Methodology(RSM) to optimized impeller. In addition, total pump design method was suggested by designing volute which was suitable for the optimized impeller through volute design where Stepanoff theory was applied and numerical analysis.

A centrifugal pump was selected as a basic study, for it was utilized widely at the industry among various types of pumps. The purpose of this study was to develop the software for design of centrifugal pump. The step of this design was divided into two stages. First, the impeller was designed by the experiences and theory of A.J.Stepanoff, and the head was checked whether the design of impeller was acceptable. Second, the volute chamber was designed by the Archimedes spiral. Then, These procedures of impeller and volute chamber were developed into the software in C-language. Checked the validity of the developed software, the results were consistent with the actual pump produced domestically.
