Abstract
In this work, the authors present a robust and integrated procedure for the design of multi-stage gear pumps to be used in dry sump system applications. Based on the target delivery flow rate, rotational speed and fluid properties, the developed iterative method enables to directly obtain the geometrical features and the working parameters of the pump components, such as gearpair specifics, shaft and journal bearing dimensions, clearance values. The methodology is then applied to a case study in order to highlight its features and detail the achievable outcomes. Quality of the results is assessed by means of a CFD analysis, demonstrating the capability to obtain the expected volumetric efficiency.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
