Abstract: Abstract. In high-speed rotating equipment such as turbomachinery, low-loss, low-wear, and low-leakage sealing technology is needed to achieve higher efficiency, longer service life, and lower environmental impact. The ...

Abstract: The present paper introduces experimental results for radial segmented seals operating at high rotating speed. These seals are made of three or more interlocking, carbon-graphite segments, in permanent contact with the ...
