This article looks at several heat-transfer augmentation technologies that have been developed at Louisiana State University's Center for Rotating Machinery. Aimed at reducing interfacial heat in mechanical seals, they include the design of seal rings with an internal heat exchanger, surface texturing techniques to improve heat transfer, and the design of a new generation of seals with a heat pipe.
