Experimental investigation of leakage flow in centrifugal pump

Leakage flow study is vital in the design of centrifugal blood pumps. Having a good wash out within the pump at higher volumetric efficiency will prevent thrombus formation. However, excessive leakage flow is also undesirable as it may result in hemolysis. Therefore, a good combination of impeller’s...
