Abstract: A previously developed dynamic model for two-phase face seals is extended to include turbulent flow. Thermal transients over the entire range of laminar and turbulent flow are considered for ...

Abstract: Mechanical face seals with phase change have extensive engineering applications, yet little theory exists to predict dynamic and thermodynamic behavior. At present, numerical solutions exist for ...

Abstract: A dynamic analysis of two-phase face seals including squeeze film effects and thermal transients is presented. Axial responses to perturbations from equilibrium for various sets of typical seal ...
