3. A fixed inclined-plane hydrodynamic thrust bearing of length 100mm and width 500mm operates at sliding velocity 1m/s and a normal load of 10 kN. Find the viscosity of a mineral oil such that the minimum film thickness is at least 50 µm for a bearing operating at maximum load capacity. Calculate the volumetric flow rate. For an application requiring bearing stiffness of 16 N/µm, how many pads are required in the bearing?
Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements
Measurement is a term that refers to analyzing a manufactured component regarding the degree of accuracy for dimensions, tolerances, geometric profile, roundness, flatness, smoothness, etc. Measurement always involves comparing the manufactured component or the prototype with a standard specimen whose dimensions and other parameters are assumed to be perfect and do not undergo changes with respect to time.Precisely in mechanical engineering the branch that deals with the application of scientific principles for measurements is known as metrology. The domain of metrology in general deals with various measurements like mechanical, chemical, thermodynamic, physical, and biological measurements. In mechanical engineering, the measurements are limited to mechanical specific such as length, mass, surface profile, flatness, roundness, viscosity, heat transfer, etc.
Basic principles of engineering metrology
Metrology is described as the science of measurement, precision, and accuracy. In other words, it is a method of measurement based on units and predefined standards.
