    The document discusses various types of positive displacement pumps. It describes how gear pumps work by rotating gears to transport fluid between teeth and are used for low flow rates in hydraulic systems. It also discusses factors that affect leakage in positive displacement pumps like clearance size and pressure. The document then focuses on cavitation in gear pumps, noting the minimum suction pressure depends on rotational speed, gear size, teeth number, and fluid viscosity to allow enough time to fill voids.
