Optimization of crankshaft main bearing lubrication performance considering bearing profiles

Analysis of Short Bearing in Turbulent Regime Considering Micropolar Lubrication

The aim of the paper work is to investigate and predict the static performance of journal bearing in turbulent flow condition considering micropolar lubrication. The Reynolds equation has been modified considering turbulent micropolar lubrication and is solved for steady state operations. The Constantinescu’s turbulence model is adopted using the coefficients. The analysis has been done for a p...

The True Cost of Bearing Lubrication

Magnetic fluid lubrication of porous pivoted slider bearing with slip and squeeze velocity

In this paper the problem on “Magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by N Ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using Jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. It is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (Refer equation(2.2)). This paper re...

On a mathematical model of journal bearing lubrication

We consider the steady motion of an incompressible fluid whose viscosity depends on the pressure and the shear rate. The system is completed by suitable boundary conditions involving nonhomogeneous Dirichlet, Navier’s slip and inflow/outflow parts. We prove the existence of weak solutions and show that the resulting level of the pressure is fixed by the boundary conditions. The problem is motiv...

Two-dimensional lubrication analysis and design optimization of a Scotch Yoke engine linear bearing

Recent study has shown that the application of a Scotch Yoke crank mechanism to a reciprocating internal combustion engine reduces the engine’s size and weight and generates sinusoidal piston motion that allows for complete balance of the engine. This paper describes detailed investigation of the performance of a linear bearing assembly, which is one of the key components of the Scotch Yoke mec...
