The submersible pumps used in Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) installations are multistage centrifugalpumps operating in a vertical position. The liquid lifted by Submersible Pump, after being subjected to great centrifugalforces caused by the high rotational speed of the impeller, lose their kinetic energy in the diffuser where a conversion ofkinetic to pressure energy takes place. This is the main operational mechanism of radial and mixed flow pumps.The Pump is typically multistage containing two or more impellers (depending on head requirements) housed in aDiffuser assembly. Submersible pumps are multi-staged centrifugal pumps; each stage consists of a rotating impeller andstationary diffuser.The Diffuser of Multistage Submersible Pump will be designed with the help of Pro-E. Pro-E is Parametric bynature so by designing the Diffuser in Pro-E we can redesign the component anytime so time needed for redesign thecomponent will be reduced. Model will be imported from Pro-E to ANSYS to optimize the design of Diffuser by doingStatic Structural analysis in ANSYS.
