Gear pumps represent the majority of the fixed displacement machines used for flow
generation in fluid power systems. In this context, the paper presents a review of the different …

The lubrication of the mechanical components reduces friction, and increases the efficiency
and the reliability. However, the interaction of moving components with the lubricant leads to …

Small and micro hydropower systems represent an attractive solution for generating
electricity at low cost and with low environmental impact. The pump-as-turbine (PAT) …

The paper presents an extensive analysis of the influence on the suction capacity of the
main geometric parameters of gerotor lubricating pumps. The study was carried out using a …

Over the years, numerous investigations have established the gerotor fundamentals. This
work aims to provide a complete review of the literature from the last decade, focusing on the …

Gerotor pumps, as well known, are widely used in lubrication circuits of internal combustion
engines for their simplicity, high efficiency and low costs. In this paper an experimental …

Although gerotor pumps are used in a wide range of industrial applications, higher work
pressure causes shock or collision among pump components, which leads to large stress …

Recently several works have been published on numerical simulation of an external gear
pump (EGP). Such kinds of pumps are simple and relatively inexpensive, and are frequently …

Cavitation is one of the most important performance of centrifugal pumps. However, the
current optimization works of centrifugal pump are mostly focusing on hydraulic efficiency …

In this paper, two alternative numerical approaches for the simulation of Gerotor units are
compared: a fast lumped parameter approach for the fluid dynamics through the unit that …
