A pump is device which works on the principle of transferring the fluid at different h eads as perrequirement. The attention is focused on improvement of efficiencies, particularly the pressure, hydraulic efficiency andvolumetric efficiency, of the water type centrifugal pump by modifying the impeller blade angles and its effects on thedifferent performance parameters. The v6 water type centrifugal pump has been selected as a reference pump and itsCFD & Analytical analysis is carried out then its impeller blade angle has been varied in a steps and the effects of thevariation of the impeller blade angle is observed for various angles on the pressure, volumetric and hydraulicefficiencies of the pump and its validation has been shown by analytical and CFD analysis. The modification result hasbeen checked by CFD analysis in ANSYS CFX Software.
