Leakage Characteristic of Helical Groove Seal Designed in Reactor Coolant Pump
Helical groove seal is designed in reactor coolant pump to control the leakage along the front surface of the impeller face due to its higher resistance than the circumferentially grooved seal. The flow and the friction factors in helical groove seals are predicted by employing a commercial CFD code...
