Abstract
A slurry pump is a device used to transport slurry, which is a mixture of solids and liquids. The slurry pump is subjected to physical erosion, generally resulting from erosion by friction between the solid and liquid particles. This study aimed to analyze the effects of process parameters on the erosion wear of a throat bush, which is the main component of a slurry pump. The erosion rate density (E) was analyzed based on the process parameters, that is, the slurry particle diameter, rotation speed of the impeller, and gap between the impeller and the throat bush. The discrete phase model (DPM) of the slurry pump was simulated using the process parameters. These parameters were optimized to minimize the erosion rate density. The optimization method using design of experiments (DOE) to derive a specific location with the greatest influence of the design variables through the one-way layout method and optimize the response value at that location is a method that efficiently analyzes a large number of cases. The optimization results confirmed that the erosion rate density was reduced in the optimization model compared with the earlier model.
