To analyze the pump performance, ANSYS student version 2022 software was used – wherein; head rise (H), pump speed (N), discharge rate (Q) and inlet pressure of 20-120m, 2000rpm, 144m<sup>3</sup>/h and 0 atm were respectively specified as initial and boundary conditions in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool. CFD for inlet and exit blade angles of 35<sup>o</sup>, 38<sup>o</sup>, 41<sup>o</sup> and 47<sup>o</sup>, 50<sup>o</sup>, 53<sup>o</sup> were respectively simulated for all fluid type using a 7-bladed impeller to obtain contour plots and pressure and velocity distribution results of the analysis. It was deduced that the overall efficiency of the centrifugal pump depends on the outlet blade angle and fluid type, while the power used rises with both inlet and outlet blade angles. Further studies should be channeled towards analyzing the variations in N, Q, H, impeller blade number (Z) and its width, for this particular type of impeller.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Engineering and Applied Physics}, author={Umaru Usman, Isa and Abbas, Kashif and Musa Abubakar, Abdulhalim and Mönnig, Ronny and Zakariyyah Abdul, Aminullah and Alhodali, Mazen Abdul-Jabbar}, year={2023}, month={May}, pages={765–779} }
