In the analysis of a tilting pad thrust bearing, the following dimensions were measured: h1 = 10 mm, h2 = 5mm, L = 10 cm, B = 24 cm The shaft rotates at a speed of 120 RPM. Find the position on the x axis where the pressure differential would be maximum. Calculate the height of separation when the pressure differential is max. Find the position on x axis corresponding to the center of pressure. Also calculate the load on the bearing. Coefficient of dynamic viscosity = 40 cp. Z Approximate U as the speed of the periphery of the collar with dia. 23 cm h1 h h2 NOTE: 1 cp = Pa.s 1 Pa = 1N/m2 B U X

1+k = h1/h2 = 10/5 = 2, k = 1 Xo/B= (1+k)/(2+k) = 2/3, xo = 24x2/3 = 16 cm ho=h2[2(1+k)/2+k] = 5(2)(2)/3 = 20/3 = 6.66 mm = cm We need to find load W from the equation

Substituting the values we get
Therefore W = (0.42 x 0.076/0.021)2 ~ 2.3 N

Temperature rise in tilting pad bearing
The rate of work done on the lubricant is the frictional force F multiplied by the velocity U It can be approximated (especially at high speeds) that all the heat is removed by the oil and no heat is removed by the pad or runner Hence if the temperature rise is Dt, the density of oil r and its specific heat capacity is c, the energy balance, with J as the mechanical equivalent of heat, we get
5
Now where ho is the distance of separation when the pressure is maximum
And Therefore Friction is given by

Tilting pad bearing- Temperature rise
In non-dimensional form, the friction would be From the load equation, Where W* is the non-dimensional load Substituting these values into the energy balance equation we get temperature rise

Determination of viscosity

Viscosity determination- capillary tube method
Consider steady laminar flow of an incompressible fluid of density r through a long vertical tube of radius R The flow may be assumed to be similar to sliding of numerous cylindrical shells Force of flow Flow takes place due to pressure drop Viscous drag
11
Force balance on a fluid shell element
Momentum in by flow Pressure p1 Flow takes place from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure The forces acting on the shell element are: Pressure force Gravitational force Shear stress r R Tube wall l Momentum out by flow Pressure p2
12
Forces on a cylindrical fluid element
Momentum in by flow Pressure p1 Shear force at surface at radius r = 2prltr Shear force at outer surface of element = -2p(r + Dr)ltr+Dr Pressure force at top (z = 0) = p12prDr Pressure force at bottom (z = l) = -p22prDr Gravity force on shell element = 2prDrlrg Where tr and tr + Dr are the shear stresses at r and r + Dr respectively Upward forces have been indicated with a negative sign r R l r+Dr Pressure p2 Momentum out by flow
13
Equilibrium of the forces
From the equilibrium of dynamic forces we have: Which reduces to: or p1 – (p2 – rgl) is the pressure difference Dp causing flow Hence,
14
Shear stress on element at radius r
From previous slide Integrating we get where A is a constant of integration From theory on shear flow in laminar region, the shear stress is maximum at the center line (where r = 0). Therefore When r = 0, dtr/dr = 0, which gives A = 0. Therefore
15
Velocity in terms of radius
From Newton’s law of viscosity The negative sign is incorporated because the velocity decreases with increase in radius. Velocity is zero at surface of tube and maximum at center Hence On integrating we get: At r = R, u = 0. Therefore
16
Max. velocity and avg. velocity
Hence we get the expression for velocity in terms of radius as From the above expression it is clear that the velocity profile is parabolic and is maximum at r = 0. The average velocity is half the maximum velocity. Therefore
17
Expression for viscosity
The volume rate of flow Q = Average velocity x Area This is known as Hagen-Poiseuille law and can be used to determine the viscosity. Therefore Where V is the volume of flow in time t
