Thermo-viscous influence on the mechanical seal performance in a reactor coolant pump (RCP)

The mechanical seal performance in reactor coolant pump (RCP) is of great importance for the efficient and safe operation of primary loop in nuclear power plant. The sealing medium filling inside the seal encounters strong thermal gradient. In this paper, thermo-viscous effect on sealing characteris...
