Fundamentals of External Gear Pump Design

Abstract

This report seeks to provide a foundational level of understanding of the primary mechanisms of operation and loss sources that provides designers a starting point for a gear pump design. The scope of this report includes the quantitative and qualitative parameters and metrics to define pump performance, design of individual pump components, some of the critical mutual dependencies of those components, pump fabrication, and the integration and testing of a gear pump prototype.
