Effect of surface roughness of mechanical seals for rotary blood pumps under blood sealing

A miniature mechanical seal with the cooling water circulating system has been developed as a solution of the shaft seal problems in rotary blood pumps. The present paper describes the effect of the surface roughness in the sealing gap on the shaft seal problems under blood sealing. The sealing surf...
