DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PUMP COMPONENTS USING FUSION 360, KPR Institute Engineering and Technology, Autonomous Engineering Institution, Coimbatore, India

EKKI CENTRE in association with department of mechanical engineering Organized a Workshop for students. Students got insight about to find the design solution through software tool.

EKKI- KPRIET International Water technology centre (EIWTC) in association with Department of Mechanical Engineering Organized a Workshop on the topic of "Design and Development of Pump Component Using AUTODESK FUSION 360" on October 10th, 2022. Around 25 participants from various Institutions were attended and 18 from KPRIET were participated. First session was handled by Dr.V.Bhuvaneswari AP/Mech (Sl.Gr). She explained the following topics.
1.     Introduction to Pump Technology
2.     Types of pumps
3.     Evolution of pump
4.     Difference between Surface and Submersible pump
5.     Factors involved for pump failure
6.     Troubleshooting of Pump
7.     Cut section of pumps
8.     Role of impeller in pump discharge
9.     Factors involved for selection of pumps
10.  Components of submersible pump
For the first session students were brought to EKKI Centre and seen various types of submersible pump components with their cut sectional view.
Second session was handled by Mr.B.K.Saravanan AP/Mech. He explained the designing of pump components using a software tool “AUTODESK FUSION 360”. The following topics were discussed during the session.
1.     Application bar
2.     Data panel
3.     User profile and help
4.     Workspace
5.     Tool bar
6.     Browser
7.     View cube
8.     Canvas and marking menu
9.     Navigation and display settings
10.  Time life.
Finally, “Impeller design contest” was conducted and three students received the gift for their excellent performance during the contest. From this workshop, students got well practice of finding the design solution to the submersible pump components which can be applied for all constructional requirements in various design sectors.
