Abstract: The influence of varying slider temperature on the characteristics of a conical bearing with constant film thickness rotating with a uniform angular velocity is examined. The fluid is considered ...

Abstract: An analysis has been made of the characteristics of externally pressurized central recess conical bearings with nonconstant film thickness under the assumption of isothermal laminar flow of a ...

Abstract: The laminar flow characteristics of the externally pressurized central recess conical bearings with narrow gaps, predicted theoretically in Part I of this paper, have been verified experimentally. ...

Abstract: In consideration of the pulsatile blood flow in a conduit, the consitutive equation for the whole human blood of F. J. Walburn and D. J. Schneck (Biorheology , Vol. 13, 1976, pp. 201-210) ...

Abstract: Steady flow within a uniform circular curved tube formed by two 90-deg elbows was studied as a function of ψ, the angle between the planes of curvature of the two elbows. Boundary layer ...

Abstract: An operating tilting-pad thrust bearing generates a fore-region which is responsible for maintaining, at the bearing entrance, a pressure which is higher than the ambient pressure. This entrance ...
