Transition from flow stabilizer to pump with increased rotation.

RPM	Pressure rise (mmHg)	Maximum Wall Shear (Pa)*	Power Loss (Watts)
No impeller	−0.43	1.4	0.25
0	−0.05	7.6	0.03
500	−0.05	15.6	0.03
1000	−0.04	29.3	0.02
2500	0.02	98.7	−0.01
5000	0.03	130.8	−0.02

RPM: revolutions per minute; Pa: pascal,

^*location of maximum wall shear stress is on the TCPC vessel wall for case with no impeller and on impeller surface for cases with impeller
