Impact of Surface Roughness and Coning on Hydrodynamic Face Seals During an Idling Process of Main Coolant Pump in Mixed Lubrication Regime
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hydrodynamic face seal of the main coolant pump (MCP) of a nuclear power plant operates under hydrodynamic lubrication. At low idle speed, the seal faces may touch, transitioning the lubrication regime from hydrodynamic ...
