Question
Based on attached material, please solve following problem.
A journal bearing of length 60 mm is to support a steady load of 20 kN. The journal, of diameter 50 mm, runs at 10 revolutions per second. Assuming c/R = 0.001 and ε = 0.6, determine a suitable viscosity of the oil, using the theory of (a) the very long bearing with the full Sommerfeld condition, (b) the very short bearing with the half Sommerfeld condition. For (a) determine the power required to overcome friction, and the best position for the oil supply hole relative to the load line. Would this position also be suitable according to theory (b)?

Transcribed Image Text:We consider first a bearing of infinite length, so that the lubricant flow may be Bearing of infinite length
taken as two-dimensional (in the plane of the diagram). We assume also that
conditions are steady, that the viscosity and density are constant throughout,
and that the axes of journal and bush are exactly straight and parallel. As
the film thickness h is so small compared with the radii, the fact that the
film is curved may be neglected, and, for a small length &x in the direction
of flow, the flow is governed essentially by eqn 6.35. Hence

where ho = 2q/NR, which, for steady conditions, is constant and may be
regarded as representing the value of h at which dp/dx = 0. By putting
x = RO and h = c(1 + ɛ cos 0) we transform eqn 6.48 to
1 dp

The pressure p may now be determined by integrating eqn 6.49 with respect
to 0. This may be achieved by using a new variable a such that
1- 82
1- e cos a
1+ɛ cos 0 =

and thus de = (1 – e2)'/²da/(1 - e cos a). Then pc² /6µ2R² = Cp, say, so
that

where Co is an integration constant.

Now if the lubricant occupies the entire space between journal and bush,
eqn 6.51 must give the same value forp at the maximum clearance whether
we set 0 = 0 or 27, that is, a = 0 or 27. Hence

(1 - 82)3/2 c(1 – 82)5/2

and so
c(1 – e2)

(6.52)
Substituting this relation in eqn 6.51 we obtain
e(2 – 82 – e cos a) sin a Co
Cp
(1+82)3/2(2 + 82)
E(2 + ɛ cos 0) sin 0
+ Co
(2 + 82)(1+ ɛ cos 0)2
(6.53)
This expression is plotted in Fig. 6.23, which shows that when e is
between a and 2n, the pressure drops considerably below the value at
e = 1. The result was first obtained by the German physicist Arnold
Sommerfeld (1868-1951), and so the existence of these symmetrical high-
and low-pressure sections of the graph is termed the Sommerfeld boundary
condition.
