Measurement and Prediction of Heat Transfer Coefficients for Mechanical Seals

工程学院实习生将提供资金，以匹配Durametals公司的支持。该奖项将使PI能够研究机械密封中的热产生和散热。将通过计算预测各种固体成分和液体中的温度分布，随后将在工业现场的专用试验台上进行实验工作来验证结果。研究结果将用于制定设计规范，用于设计泄漏和摩擦损失最小的机械密封。

An Engineering Faculty Internship will provide funds to match support from Durametallic Corporation. The award will enable the PI to study heat generation and dissipation in mechanical seals. The temperature distributions in various solid components and in the liquid will be predicted by computation and the results will subsequently be validated by experimental work to be done on a specialized test rig located at the industrial site. The results will be used to develop design codes for design of mechanical seals with minimal leakage and friction losses.
