Abstract :A centrifugal pump is an efficient piece of machinery that is often used in the activities of our everyday lives as well as the production of industrial goods. Due to the ever-increasing demands of our contemporary lifestyle, the process of designing a pump is becoming more authoritarian and demanding. In order to assist designers in overcoming these limits, an optimization algorithm would be suggested. This algorithm would help designers use optimum design methodologies and reduce risk throughout the manufacturing stage. ANSYS`s Computational Fluid Dynamics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CFD); tool was used to develop numerical models for simulation. These models were created using ANSYS. For the purpose of the multi-objective optimization design, the simulation`s best-chosen model was taken into consideration. This algorithm was used throughout the process of designing the ideal solution. Several design models were created by selecting characteristics such as the size of the pump volute casing section, the tongue`s length, and the tongue`s angle. The findings demonstrate that the provided strategy is viable for resolving the issue with the optimal design. These findings have the potential to serve as an encouraging reference for companies that manufacture centrifugal pumps, as well as researchers who are interested in applying their invention and development to the pump design sector in the future.
