The dynamic and hydrodynamic properties of the pad in the fluid pivot journal bearing are investigated in this paper. Preload coefficients, recess area, and size gap, which were selected as input parameters to investigate, are important parameters of fluid pivot journal bearing. The pad’s pendulum angle, lubricant oil flow through the gap, and recess pressure which characterizes the squeeze film damper were investigated with different preload coefficients, recess area, and gap sizes. The computational models were established and numerical methods were used to determine the equilibrium position of the shaft-bearing system. Since then, the pendulum angle of the pad, liquid flow, and recess pressure were determined by different eccentricities.

Large-scale longitudinal vortices in high-speed turbulent separated flows caused by relatively small irregularities at the model leading edges or at the model surfaces are investigated in this paper. Oil-flow visualization and infrared thermography techniques were applied in the wind tunnel tests at Mach numbers 3 and 5 to investigate the nominally 2-D ramp flow at deflection angles of 20°, 25° and 30°. The surface contour anomalies have been artificially simulated by very thin strips (vortex generators) of different shapes and thicknesses attached to the model surface. It is shown that the introduced streamwise vortical disturbances survive over very large downstream distances of the order of 104 vortex-generator heights in turbulent supersonic flows without pressure gradients. It is demonstrated that each vortex pair induced in the reattachment region of the ramp is definitely a child of a vortex pair, which was generated originally, for instance, by the small roughness element near the leading edge. The dependence of the spacing and intensity of the observed longitudinal vortices on the introduced disturbances (thickness and spanwise size of vortex generators) and on the flow parameters (Reynolds numbers, boundary-layer thickness, compression corner angles, etc.) has been shown experimentally.

The flow through porous screens has been widely studied from both the theoretical and experimental points of view. The most widely used types of screen are the wire mesh and the perforated plate, and the majority of the literature has been concerned with the former. Several attempts have been made to correlate the parameters governing the flow through such screens, i.e. the pressure drop, the flow conditions and the geometry of the mesh.

Trends in aircraft engines have dictated high speed rolling element bearings up to 3 million DN or more with the consequence of having high amounts of heat rejection in the bearing chambers and high oil scavenge temperatures. A parametric study on the bearing power consumption has been performed with a 124 mm pitch circle diameter (PCD) ball bearing in a bearing chamber that has been adapted from the RB199 turbofan engine DN∼2×106. The operating parameters such as oil flow, oil temperature, sealing air flow, bearing chamber pressure, and shaft speed have been varied in order to assess the impact on the power consumption. This work is the first part of a survey aiming to reduce power losses in bearing chambers. In the first part, the parameters affecting the power losses are identified and evaluated.


The main aim of our project is to design and fabrication of pneumatic two step speed control of a cylinder. Initially the flow from the FRL retracts the cylinder when the push button is in its spring offset position. When it is pushed the flow pilots actuate. The air passes through the flow control and shuttle valve. Then the cylinder extends with high speed as the valve allows more air to enter the cylinder. When the piston reaches the position it operates the cam push button and pilot air flow through this and actuate 5/2 pilot operated valve and reaches flow control valve which permits less air. Then the flow through enters the shuttle valve to cylinder and allows the cylinder to extend at relatively low speed. At the end of extension stroke deactivating push button retracts the cylinder. Thus the speed of cylinder is controlled and project can be achieved

The Flow of Fluids through screens has been widely studied with particular importance being attached to the measurement of the pressure drop caused by a screen and its relation to the screen geometry and the flow conditions. The majority of the investigations have been carried out on wire gauze screens mounted in ducts with air passing through them, the static pressure being measured on either side of the gauze. Attempts have been made by Weighardt Annand and Grootenhuisto correlate the gauze geometry with the pressure drop and to enable the pressure loss over a given screen and with given flow conditions to be predicted.

Trends in aircraft engine design cause increased mechanical stress requirements for rolling bearings. Consequently high amounts of heat are rejected which results in high oil scavenge temperatures. The direction of oil flow in the bearing can considerably affect the heat transported by the oil. An RB199 turbofan bearing and its associated chamber were modified to carry out the survey. The test bearing was a 124mm PCD ball bearing. The bearing has a split inner-ring employing under-race lubrication by two individual jets. The total oil flow could be devided to any ratio through the jets. This had an impact on the oil scavenge temperatures and the scavenge flows on both sides of the bearing. Significant reduction in the ‘heat to oil’ was achieved when oil was fed at certain proportions (ratio). This work is part of the European Research programme Brite Euram ATOS (Advanced Transmission and Oil Systems).

Hydraulic electromagnetic energy-regenerative shock absorber is a new kind of shock absorbers, who can perform the function of a standard shock while acting as an additional source of power. One of the core components of this new shock absorber is the valve system. And its function is to rectify the direction of the oil flow. Then the oil can flow through the hydraulic motor from one port only no matter in expansion stroke or compression stroke. The research focused on the compactness, sensitivity and energy recovery rate of two different valve systems. And the results showed that the valve system composed of check valves better matched the hydraulic electromagnetic energy-regenerative shock absorber.
