Abstract In this article a mathematical model of single layered nano-fluid lubricated PJB (porous journal bearing) has been formulated. The nano-lubricant's impact on the efficiency of said journal bearing has been studied using modified Darcy's law and boundary conditions. The different nanoparticles often used as an additive in industrial lubricating oils improve their viscosity significantly. The brief description of dimensionless performance characteristics of the investigated bearing was obtained by the use of the nano-lubricant's modified Krieger-Dougherty viscosity model. The observations revealed that the output characteristics are substantially improved by using nano-lubricant. The present study was validated by comparing the findings of recently published data with micropolar fluid and was found to be completely compatible since data with nano-lubricant are still unavailable.

To investigate the dynamic characteristics of gas bearings with holes of tangential supply (TS bearing), drawing on the modified Reynolds equations proposed by Mori, we present new governing equations and their reasonable boundary conditions. Using this mathematical model, the inertia effect of the supplied gas on the aerodynamic film force can be evaluated properly. The governing equations are solved numerically using Finite Element Method (FEM), and the pressure distribution of the gas in the bearing, the critical whirl ratio and so on, are calculated for a typical design. Some results for a cylindrical journal bearing (CJ bearing) and ordinary bearing with holes of radial supply (RS bearing) are also provided for comparison.

In this paper, an electro-hydrostatic actuator driven by dual axial-mounted magnetostrictive material rods-based pumps (MMPs) with a new type of active rectification valve is designed in the current study. Based on flow distribution of the active rectification valve and driving energy provided by two MMPs, the actuator can output continuous and bidirectional displacement. By establishing a mathematical model of the actuating system, using simulation techniques, the change rule of hydraulic cylinder’s motion state caused by different driving signals are studied and analyzed. Test equipment platform is constructed in the laboratory to test the output characteristics and confirm the feasibility of the new concept. The experimental results indicate that the maximum flow rate can reach approximately 2.7 L·min−1, while the operating frequency is 180 Hz.

A thin micropolar fluid with new boundary conditions at the fluid-solid interface, linking the velocity and the microrotation by introducing a so-called "boundary viscosity" is presented. The existence and uniqueness of the solution is proved and, by way of asymptotic analysis, a generalized micropolar Reynolds equation is derived. Numerical results show the influence of the new boundary conditions for the load and the friction coefficient. Comparisons are made with other works retaining a no slip boundary condition.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of turbulence on the stability characteristics of finite hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid. Design/methodology/approach The non-dimensional transient Reynolds equation has been solved to obtain the non-dimensional pressure field which in turn used to obtain the load carrying capacity of the bearing. The second-order equations of motion applicable for journal bearing system have been solved using fourth-order Runge–Kutta method to obtain the stability characteristics. Findings It has been observed that turbulence has adverse effect on stability and the whirl ratio at laminar flow condition has the lowest value. Practical implications The paper provides the stability characteristics of the finite journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid operating in turbulent regime which is very common in practical applications. Originality/value Non-linear stability analysis of micropolar fluid lubricated journal bearing operating in turbulent regime has not been reported in literatures so far. This paper is an effort to address the problem of non-linear stability of journal bearings under micropolar lubrication with turbulent effect. The results obtained provide useful information for designing the journal bearing system for high speed applications.
