Abstract: A theoretical derivation is given showing that whenever the center of curvature of a bearing does not coincide with its center of rotation, synchronous counterrotation will produce a load ...

Abstract: The compressible Reynolds Equation under isothermal conditions was solved for finite elliptical and 3-lobe bearings with the load vector acting in any arbitrary direction over the full range of ...

Abstract: The Reynolds equation has been solved on a digital computer for the case of 150, 100, and 75-deg bearing arcs subject to loads acting in any arbitrary direction. The results cover the entire ...

Abstract: Analytical expressions for the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of real air are presented. The expressions are derived from an equation of state proposed by Hirschfelder, et al. ...

Abstract: A model is presented which consists of injecting a liquid coolant into the gas or superheated vapor of centrifugal compressors via slots in the rotating blades. The aim of the injection is ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted on the behavior of oil rings for bearing sizes ranging from 75 mm (3 in.) to 305 mm (12 in.) in diameter. The characteristics of rings through ...

Abstract: An experimental program documenting the performance of journal bearings for conditions ranging from full hydrodynamic lubrication to states of extreme lubricant starvation is described. The effects ...
