Abstract

The stress analysis of developed Al-3.7%Cu-1.4%Mg/1.5%wtRice husk ash nanoparticles (RHAnp) composite for the production of pump impeller for industrial and agricultural applications has been investigated. Impeller speed of 1050, 1250, and 1450rpm were used for the stress analysis. The Al-3.7%Cu-1.4%Mg/1.5wt%RHAnp composite can be successfully used in the production of the pump impeller. It was observed that the maximum von misses' stress obtained is far lower than the yield stress in the materials. This result imply that using these developed materials in the production of the impeller is safe based on the judgment of the strength obtained in the work. Since the factor of safety is above one, it also indicates that failure may not occur before the design life is reached.
