Distribution of blade load is one of the design parameter for cavitating inducer. For experimental investigation of thermodynamic effect on blade load, we conducted experiments in both water and liquid nitrogen. Pressure rising along the tip was measured. It was found that the shift of blade load to the trailing edge occurs at the lower cavitation numbers with increase of cavity length. However, the distribution of blade load can be indicated by the cavity length independent of thermodynamic effect.
