A device usable as an impeller has a plurality of vanes rotating eccentrically about a shaft. Eccentric rotation is enabled by a cam mounted on the shaft. The vanes are received within slots in a rotor which surrounds the shaft and rotates about an axis coaxial with the shaft. The rotor rotates within a housing having a cylindrical surface facing the rotor. The surface is eccentric to the shaft. The vanes execute reciprocal motion upon rotation of the rotor. The vane motion is constrained so that the edges of the vanes remain proximate to the cylindrical surface during rotation. |

A scavenge gear pump and its method of operation is described. The scavenge gear pump includes a pump housing defining a pump chamber, an inlet passage, an outlet passage, and a fluid injection passage in fluid communication with the pump chamber. The inlet passage receives an admixed fluid at low pressure and the outlet passage the admixed fluid at high pressure from a downstream region of said pump chamber. The fluid injection passage receives a third fluid at an injection pressure for input into the pump chamber. A pair of driveable gears is disposed in the pump chamber. The third fluid is injected directly into the gear meshing area of the pump chamber through the fluid injection passage so that the third fluid fills voids at least between said intermeshing teeth of the driveable gears and so that the second fluid does not occupy the gear meshing area. |
