Abstract EN
A theoretical study of the effect of the viscosity variation on the squeeze film performance of a short journal bearing operating with micropolar fluid is presented.
The modified Reynolds equation accounting for the viscosity variation in micropolar fluid is mathematically derived.
To obtain a closed form solution, the short bearing approximation under constant load is considered.
The modified Reynolds equation is solved for the fluid film pressure and then the bearing characteristics, such as obtaining the load carrying capacity and the squeeze film time.
According to the results evaluated, the micropolar fluid as a lubricant improves the squeeze film characteristics and results in a longer bearing life, whereas the viscosity variation factor decreases the load carrying capacity and squeezes film time.
The result is compared with the corresponding Newtonian case.
