Selection of the optimal flow passage parameters for the Turo-type torque flow pump

The paper considers issues related to finding the flow passage optimal geometric characteristics for the Turo-type torque flow pump with an annular free chamber. The research methodology includes designing the flow passage initial parametric model, determining the mathematical model parameters, numerical computation of the working fluid flow in the pump, correlation of the input design parameters, optimizing the flow passage geometric characteristics based on one of the algorithms of the direct optimization method.
