Summary
This paper deals with fluid engineering problems encountered in eight years of development studies of the centrifugal blood pump with magnetically suspended impeller. The main results of the investigation are as follows. The impeller disk friction is dominant among the whole power loss. The magnetically suspended impeller with radial straight vanes is the most stable. The motor current depends on blood viscosity and flow rate. Consequently the flow rate and pressure difference can be estimated by self-sensing without the flow meter and pressure transducers.
