An endeavour has been made to study and analyze the behaviour of a magnetic fluid-based squeeze film between curved transversely rough rotating circular plates when the curved upper plate lying along a surface determined by an exponential function approaches the curved lower plate along the surface governed by a secant function. A magnetic fluid is used as the lubricant in the presence of an external magnetic field oblique to the radial axis. The random roughness of the bearing surfaces is characterised by a stochastic random variable with nonzero mean, variance, and skewness. The associated nondimensional averaged Reynolds equation is solved with suitable boundary conditions in dimensionless form to obtain the pressure distribution, leading to the expression for the load carrying capacity. The results establish that the bearing system registers an enhanced performance as compared to that of the bearing system dealing with a conventional lubricant. This investigation proves that albeit the bearing suffers due to transverse surface roughness, there exist sufficient scopes for obtaining a relatively better performance in the case of negatively skewed roughness by properly choosing curvature parameters and the rotation ratio. It is appealing to note that the negative variance further enhances this positive effect.

Effect Of Surface

The effect of surface roughness on characteristics of magnetic fluid based squeeze film between porous circular plates is hypothetically analysed. The pressure distribution is obtained by solving concern Reynolds type equation with suitable boundary conditions and the result is utilized to obtain load carrying capacity. It is concluded that the load carrying capacity increases with increasing magnetization, while load carrying capacity decreases due to the standard deviation. It is observed that the negatively skewed roughness and negative mean increase the load carrying capacity. It is also observed that the magnetic fluid lubricant improves the performance of a bearing system, thereby, suggesting that the performance of the bearing with magnetic fluid lubricant is better than the conventional lubricant.
