Self-lubricating bearings in hydropower applications are often lubricated with water under boundary lubricating conditions. Polyhydric alcohols replacing water have shown the potential to reduce both friction and wear. The objective of this work is, therefore, to evaluate the effect of a polyhydric alcohol-based environmentally-acceptable lubricant (EAL) on the friction and wear of self-lubrica...

Abstract The aim of this study is to consider the effect pressure on viscosity lubricating oil in adopted model hydrodynamic lubrication and calculated flow parameters operating a conical slide bearing. numerical analysis consisted solving Reynolds type equation for process stationary lubrication.
