Abstract: Steady-state melt lubrication of two annular-thrust surfaces is investigated analytically and experimentally. Theoretical analysis shows that complete separation of the solid surfaces is possible ...

Abstract: The squeeze film between two plane annuli is examined theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical analysis considers the inertia due to the “centrifugal effect” but neglects all other inertia ...

Abstract: A computer program has been developed to analyze the thermodynamic performance of a cogeneration plant. Results of parametric studies using this program include partial load operation, inlet air ...
