Abstract: This paper compares the leading edge groove and pressurized supply (flooded) lubricant supply methods, and analyzes their influence on the performance of equalizing tilting pad thrust bearings. ...

Abstract: This paper compares the LEG and pressurized controlled flow lubricant supply methods and evaluates their influence on the babbitt temperature and bearing power loss performance of a tilting pad, ...

Abstract: A novel approach to a three-dimensional (3D) model creation from data sets obtained by laser scanning or photogrammetry is presented, including a description of the method and efficient numerical algorithms for 3D model ...

Abstract: High-molecular-weight polymer flocculants are used for accelerated dewatering of mature fine tailings (MFTs) to reclaim the land occupied by containment ponds. Two anionic polymers were used to flocculate an MFT sample ...

Abstract: This paper compares three different lubricant supply methods—pressurized supply (flooded), spray feed, and leading edge distribution groove—and analyzes their influence on the performance of tilting ...

Abstract: In this paper dealing with the tilting pad journal bearing, experimental results are presented which show that, at higher shaft speeds, the leading-edge-groove (LEG) design has significantly lower ...

Abstract: This paper presents a momentgyro control approach to the maneuver and vibration suppression of a flexible truss arm undergoing a constant slewing motion. The overall slewing motion is triggered ...

Abstract: Many pollutants in storm-water runoff associate with the particulate fraction, as well as cause receiving water degradation themselves. Therefore, removing a substantial amount of the solids (such as all particles above a ...
