Based on the momentum and continuity equations for ferrofluid under an applied magnetic field, assuming linear behavior for the magnetic material of the ferrofluid, and using carrying current concentric finite wire magnetic field model, the magnetic force was calculated. A modified Reynolds equation is obtained. It is simultaneously solved with the energy equation numerically by the finite diff...

121804-6565-IJMME-IJENS © August 2012 IJENS I J E N S Abstract— Finite journal bearing of elliptic bore and circular bush is analyzed considering the isotropic roughness in the bearing surfaces. The angle of inclination of the major axis of the sleeve to the load line and the attitude angle are kept constant while evaluating all the performance parameters. Film shape due to the rough elliptic b...

The model of a three dimensional journal bearing with hydrodynamic lubrication is herein presented. This model is suitable for embodiment into the equations of spatial multibody systems. Both rotational and squeeze effects together with tilting effect have been taken into account. Moreover a simplified model of friction has been also reported. The proposed methodology has been applied to an exa...

Thermal deformation of journal bearings operating under high-temperature conditions can have a significant effect on changes in bearing performance. However, no attempt has been made to quantify this amount thermal and link it the performance change bearing. The aim study is investigate quantitative due tilting pad (TPJB) terms preload amount. variable viscosity Reynolds equation energy were co...

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...

In this study authors solve the fundamental set of equations of the hydrodynamic theory of lubrication, namely are: the continuity equation, conservation of momentum and conservation of energy for the case of stationary slide bearings lubrication with a thixotropic lubricant. Adoption of assumption of steady flow loads in the considered phenomenon to the changes absence of the flow parameters i...

In this paper are assumed micro-ridges and micro-grooves on t he journal and bearing sleeve surfaces. Friction on the boundary layer of the body moving in the oil at high Reynolds numbers may be decreased due to su ch a sculpturing of the surface. The grooved scale of the shark skin is an example of such tribological systems. There size ranges of the grooves are from 200 m to 400 m. The surface...

Kingsbury, Inc., Philadelphia, PA 19154 In this paper dealing with the tilting pad journal bearing, experim'ental results are presented which show that, at higher shaft speeds, the leading-edge-groove (LEG) design has significantly lower operating temperatures to those of the conventional design of tilting pad journal bearing. Subsequent theoretical analysis has shown that this reduction in pad...
