An apparatus design for high speed sealing applications based on systematic design approach

Contact seals used in high speed applications fail due to relatively friction and wear. Therefore, non-contact seals are used for high speed applications such as turbo-macinery to increase system’s efficiency. For this purpose, an apparatus design to determine performance of a new non-contact sealing geometry. In this study, the steps of systematic de-sign approach that presented by G.Pahl and W.Beitz are applied to improve an apparatus for high speed sealing applications.
