Abstract: Commonly used design methods of impellers of working area geometry of automobile hydrodynamic elements are not accurate. There are, therefore, differences between the assumed construction criteria and actual powertrain characteristics. The mechatronic design process has been developed in order to decrease this discrepancy. In the paper conception of mechatronic design of impellers working area geometry is presented.

Keywords: automobile hydrodynamics; hydrodynamic design; mechatronics; power transmission; impeller design.
