Abstract
The effect of face loading, surface roughness and material properties on the static sealing performance of mechanical face seals is analyzed . The analysis combines the problems of contact and flow between two r ough surfaces. The results are compared with available experimental da ta and are found to be reasonable. Based on many numerical results, a simple empirical expression is derived which enables easy and quick ev aluation of the effect of the various parameters on seal performance.
