Abstract: Results are presented from an experimental study which demonstrates the feasibility of using an existing galling tester and test method as a screening device for evaluating thread compound ...

Abstract: Experiments are reported on turbulent flows in air, in a large-scale bearing model of 6-ft dia, 2-ft length, 0.54-in. film thickness. Simulation of tilted pads, short journal bearings, and ...

Abstract: Results are presented from an experimental study conducted to determine friction coefficient behavior in OCTG connections. The study was conducted using the OCTG friction and galling tester at ...

Abstract: Sliding-rolling disk scuffing tests were conducted over a wide range of sliding and sum velocities, using a straight mineral oil and three aviation gas turbine synthetic oils in combination ...

Abstract: Velocity profiles and pressure distributions are reported for turbulent flow under tilted pads in a large scale bearing model (6-ft shaft size, with air as the working fluid). Results are ...

Abstract: A study of the effect of secondary fluid injection through single nontangential slots on the surface heat transfer in regions near the injection site is presented. The nondimensional parameters ...

Abstract: The results of galling experiments are strongly dependent on the method used and vary from test machine to test machine. However, by a well-developed test method and testing machine, one can ...
