Abstract In this paper the problem of designing an output device for dynamic pumps operating at a high fluid viscosity on the example of a disk pump was considered. The main objective of the study was to increase the pump efficiency by optimizing the geometry of the wet part of its volute. The dependences of the efficiency on the geometrical parameters of the output device estimated section were obtained. The results of the study are represented in a form of graphs and scalar field distributions.
