-기호설명 - Abstract: In this study, an ISM (immersed solid method) was used for investigating the mass flow rate and efficiency of an involute-gear pump featuring very high rotational speed. For considering circulation flow at the gear pump and housing, fluid flow was assumed as turbulent, and the rotational speed of the gear pump increased under the condition of constant pressure at both the inlet and outlet. The efficiency and mass flow rate of the gear pump were studied by varying its rotational speed and the clearance between the gear tip and the housing. In the simulation results, as the rotational speed were increased, the average mass flow rate and efficiency increased. Furthermore, as the clearance between the gear tip and the housing was increased, the average mass flow rate and efficiency decreased. The efficiency was 85.11, 90.94, and 93.62 at rotational speeds of 6,000 rpm, 8,000 rpm, and 10,000 rpm, respectively, under the condition that there was no clearance. In addition, the efficiency was 93.62, 93.29, and 92.74 at clearances of 0 m, 0.00001 m, and 0.00003 m respectively. † Corresponding Author, jshim@ynu.ac.kr # Equally contributed Ⓒ
