The centrifugal pump is one of the most used system in the different types industries and various locations as like municipal water circulation, municipal sewage system, pumping river sand etc. This paper deals with the design of impeller of centrifugal pump, where the flowing medium is the mixture of water 60% by volume and sand is 40% by volume. The design calculations of enclosed impeller are done based on volume flow rate, density of sand water mixture, total head required and pump speed. Based on these parameters the impeller is designed. The 3-D model is generated through the BLADEGEN module of ANSYS 16.0 workbench and the analysis is conducted with the water as flowing medium in fluid flow CFX module. The performance for the solid-liquid mixture by head ratio is predicted accordingly. After predictions results are analysed for total head produced and efficiency of the pump.
