Mini turbo-pumps having a diameter smaller than 100mm are employed in many fields;automobile radiator pump,ventricular assist pump,cooling pump for electric devices,washing machine pump and so on.Further,the needs for mini turbo-pumps would become larger with the increase of the application of it for electrical machines.It is desirable that the mini turbo-pump design is as simple as possible due to restriction to make precise manufactures.But the design method for the mini turbo-pump is not established because the internal flow condition for these small-sized fluid machineries is not clarified and conventional theory is not conductive for small-sized pumps.Three types of rotors with different outlet angles are prepared for an experiment and a numerical analysis.The performance tests are conducted with these rotors in order to investigate the effect of the blade outlet angle on performance and internal flow condition of mini turbo-pumps.It is clarified from the experimental results that head of the mini turbo-pump increases and maximum efficiency flow rate shifts to larger flow rate according to the increase of the blade outlet angle,however the maximum efficiency decreases with the increase of it.In the present paper,the performance of the mini turbo-pump is shown and the internal flow conditions are clarified with the results of the experiment and the numerical flow analysis.Furthermore,the effects of the blade outlet angle on the performance are investigated and high performance design with simple structure for the mini turbo-pump would be considered.

It is desirable that the mini turbo-pump design is as simple as possible due to restriction to make precise manufactures.But the design method for the mini turbo-pump is not established because the internal flow condition for these small-sized fluid machineries is not clarified and conventional theory is not conductive for small-sized pumps. Thh types of rotors with different outlet angles are prepared for an experiment and a numerical analysis. the performance tests are conducted with these rotors in order to investigate the effect of the blade outlet angle on performance and internal flow condition of mini turbo -pumps. It is clarified from the experimental results that head of the mini turbo-pump increases and maximum efficiency flow rate shifts to greater flow rate according to the increase of the blade outlet angle, however the maximum efficiency decreases with the increase of it.In the present paper, the performance of the mini turbo -pump is shown and the internal flow conditions are clarified with the results of the experiment and the numerical flow analysis. More than that, the effects of the blade outlet angle on the performance are investigated and high performance design with simple structure for the mini turbo-pump would be considered.
