Characteristics of the Waviness End-Face Mechanical Seal in Reactor Coolant Pump Considering the Viscosity-Temperature Effect

Mechanical seals prevents flow leakages in reactor coolant pumps thus playing an important role in their operational safety. However, their operational performance depends on different parameters, the seal geometrical design and the sealing medium characteristics among others. This study investigate...
