Abstract
A highly efficient mixed flow pump can prevent flow separation which is likely to occur in a corner portion of a flow passage of a diffuser section. The mixed flow pump includes a casing having an axis and defining an impeller section and a diffuser section disposed downstream of the impeller section with stationary diffuser blades protruding from a hub. The diffuser blades are formed so that an angular difference, between a hub blade angle and a casing blade angle, is chosen to conform to a specific distribution pattern along a flow passage of the diffuser section.
