Investigation of Thermal Effects in a Ferrofluid-Based Porous Inclined Slider Bearing with Slip Conditions

摘要

A theoretical model has been considered for the analysis of a ferrofluid lubricated porous pad slider bearing under slip conditions. The lubricant is assumed to be incompressible, and its viscosity varies exponentially with the temperature. The expressions corresponding to the mean temperature, pressure, and the lifting force (capacity of carrying the load) have been obtained as a function of various parameters such as slip, material, thermal, magnetic field, and permeability. The behavior of mean temperature with other bearing characteristics across the fluid film thickness has also been investigated. The dependency of the lifting force and mean temperature on various bearing parameters has been seen graphically.
