  2. Positive displacement meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_displacement_meter

    With oval gear flow meters, two oval gears or rotors are mounted inside a cylinder. As the fluid flows through the cylinder, the pressure of the fluid causes the rotors to rotate. As flow rate increases, so does the rotational speed of the rotors. Helical gear Helical gear flow meters get their name from the shape of their gears or rotors.

  3. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    The swept volume or displacement of gear pumps for hydraulics will be between about 1 to 200 milliliters. They have the lowest volumetric efficiency ( η v ≈ 90 % {\displaystyle \eta _{v}\approx 90\%} ) of all three basic pump types (gear, vane and piston pumps) [ 1 ] These pumps create pressure through the meshing of the gear teeth, which ...

  4. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Fluid forces the meshed gears to rotate; each rotation corresponds to a fixed volume of fluid. Counting the revolutions totalizes volume, and the rate is proportional to flow. An oval gear meter is a positive displacement meter that uses two or more oblong gears configured to rotate at right angles to one another, forming a T shape.

  5. Volumetric efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency

    Volumetric efficiency (VE) in internal combustion engine engineering is defined as the ratio of the equivalent volume of the fresh air drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke (if the gases were at the reference condition for density) to the volume of the cylinder itself.

    An exploded view of an external gear pump Fluid flow in an external gear pump Fluid flows from left to right in this internal gear pump. Oil pump from a scooter engine. A gear pump uses the meshing of gears to pump fluid by displacement. [1] They are one of the most common types of pumps for hydraulic fluid power applications.

  7. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Placing the oil pump low-down uses a near-vertical drive shaft, driven by helical skew gears from the camshaft. Some engines, such as the Fiat Twin Cam engine of 1964, began as OHV engines with an oil pump driven from a conventional camshaft in the cylinder block. When the twin overhead cam engine was developed, the previous oil pump ...

  8. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as [1] [2] =, where A is the cross-sectional area of the flow, P is the wetted perimeter of the cross-section.

  9. Gerotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerotor

    As a volume decreases, compression occurs. During this compression period, fluids can be pumped or, if they are gaseous fluids, compressed. Gerotor pumps are generally designed using a trochoidal inner rotor and an outer rotor formed by a circle with intersecting circular arcs.
