ABSTRACT
This study explores the optimization of operating parameters and the design of innovative gear pumps featuring multi-involute tooth profiles. Using a genetic algorithm, optimal parameters such as the basic radius, tooth height, and angles of involute profiles were determined. Results indicate that the proposed optimization framework significantly improves the volumetric and total efficiency of the pumps. Specifically, a volumetric efficiency increase of 8-12% and a reduction in noise levels by 3-5 dB were observed compared to conventional designs. The experimental validation confirmed the robustness of the proposed model, showcasing its potential for industrial applications. This work highlights the integration of advanced computational techniques with engineering design to achieve enhanced performance metrics
