The determination of pressure profiles in oil ring seals considering the influence of temperature gradients in the sealing fluid

The analysis of ring type seals is of great concern for the designer of high speed and high pressure centrifugal compressors. Computers now play a major role in allowing for a quick evaluation of the floating ring seal. Since the accuracy of the rotor shaft stability evaluation depends on the validi...
