This study aimed to reveal the energy loss characteristics of each part of the shaft tubular pump device (STPD) under stall conditions. Numerical simulations were conducted by using the SST <i>k-ω</i> turbulence model with curvature correction, and the reliability of the simulation results was verified by a model test. The entropy production method was used to evaluate and visualize the energy loss. The results show that turbulent entropy production (TEP) is the main source of energy loss in each component of the STPD, and the TEP increases significantly with the deterioration of stall. The energy loss in the impeller is mainly concentrated near the shroud and hub, while in the guide vanes it is mainly concentrated near the shroud and suction surface of the blades. In addition, with the deterioration of stall, the energy loss in the inlet of the impeller and guide vanes increases significantly. Influenced by the backflow from the impeller, there is a significant amount of energy loss at the outlet segment of the inlet passage, and the location of the high-energy-loss region is consistent with the backflow region. Affected by the flow separation vortex at the tail of the guide vanes, the energy loss in the outlet passage is mainly concentrated at the inlet segment.
