Jet pump is a type of mechanical device where the extra energy is provide by jet in mixing chamber. This jet is the fluid again circulate from diffuser exit to mixing chamber for better performance. This is also known as motive fluid. So the effects of change in geometrical parameter (Diffuser angle) on its performance were investigated. The set of experiment were carried out to study the effect of diffuser angle on the performance of jet pump. The performance of the jet pump is described by three sets of curves, Discharge vs. Head, Input power vs. Head, and Efficiency vs. Head. Changing the diffuser angle will affect jet pump behavior. Venturi diffuser angle was found to be an important geometrical parameter to characterize the maximum suction lift of the jet pump.
