Application of Load-Sharing Concept to Mechanical Seals

Mechanical seals are mechanisms that used to prevent fluid leakage. Since the seal surfaces in contact with one another, hydrodynamic and forces functions of surface roughness. Additionally, since lubrication regime under specific operating conditions such as low speed or high load causes operate mixed regime, thus asperities plays an important role. The primary purpose this paper is apply load-sharing concept study behavior a mechanical regime. predicted results compared published data from literature, showing acceptable accuracy. model presented can predict performance system short execution time while providing accuracy by considering roughness effect.
