Motion
In the previous slides (4b),

We defined Reynolds Equations
We also learnt the assumptions used to reduce the

full Reynolds Equations from 3-D to 2-D
Reynolds Equation, 2-D form
Infinitely long bearings (B/L3) Narrow (short) bearings (B/L1/3)


The conditions for the occurrence of

hydrodynamic lubrication between two surfaces:
 Relative movement with (sufficient velocity to drag lubricant);
 Inclined surfaces at certain angle to each other (to generate
pressure in the lubricant),
Viscosity
The term bearing refers to contacting

surfaces through which a load is transmitted.
The bearing types can be broadly split into:
(1)- Sliding bearings (Thrust & Journal bearing Ball)
(2)- Rolling element bearings (Roller and Needle
bearings)

Assumptions
1. The two nonparallel surfaces are separated by
a fluid film of constant viscosity, (=C)
2. One of these surfaces moves with a velocity (ub)
while the other is stationary (ua=0) .
3. The length of the bearing (l) is parallel to the
sliding direction and the width (B) is normal to
the sliding direction
4. The sliding direction is made to drag the
lubricant into the wedge to produce HD
pressure,


Assumptions
5. The gab between the surfaces varies uniformly
from maximum at (hi) to a minimum at (ho)
over the bearing length (l).
6. The average velocity in x-direction is given by:
and v =0
7. Considering the bearing is infinitely wide (long)

bearing that is to be much larger than the
length, (B/l  3), i.e.

12). A fixed-plane-inclined-pad thrust bearing of length
100mm, and width 500mm, with a minimum film
thickness of 50µm, operates at a sliding velocity of 1
m/sec with a mineral oil of absolute viscosity of 30 cP.
Film thickness ratio is adjusted to produce the maximum
load capacity. The mass density and specific heat of the
oil are 880 kg/m3 and 1.88 J/g K, respectively, calculate:
(a)- The maximum pressure, (b)- The location of the
maximum pressure, (c)- The normal load capacity, (d)- The
film stiffness, (e)- The volumetric flow rate, (f)- The shear
force experienced by the sliding surface, (g)- The friction
coefficient, (h)- The power loss, and (i)- The average
temperature rise of the fluid.
Given information: l = 100 mm, b = 500 mm, ho = 50 m, uo = 1 m/s,

= 0.03 Pa.s, and for maximum load capacity, m = 1.1889

width 250mm, with a minimum film thickness of 50 m, operates
at a sliding velocity of 1 m/sec with a mineral oil of absolute
viscosity of 30 cP. Film thickness ratio is adjusted to produce the
maximum load capacity. If the mass density and specific heat of

clearance of 0.40 mm. The journal rotates at 3000rpm and is lubricated
with SAE 20 oil at an average temperature of 70oC.

minimum oil film thickness, ho, for
(i) A bearing load of 500 N. (ii) A bearing load of 5000N
