Influence of magneto-hydrodynamic and couple stress squeeze film lubrication on conical bearing-a slip velocity model
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper explores the impact of MHD couple stress and slip velocity over a conical bearing in the presence of magnetic field. The flow is considered as incompressible. A uniform magnetic field is imposed perpendicular to the bearing alongy-axis. The modified Reynolds equation is solved using appropriate boundary conditions in dimensionless form to find the pressure distribution which is then used to obtain the expression for load carrying capacity paving the way for the calculation of response time. Numerical computations of the results show that the MHD couple stress on the conical bearings indicates that enhances the pressure distribution, load carrying capacity and squeeze film time of the conical bearings. Further, decrease in these characteristics was observed for the increased values of slip velocity and cone angle.
