Abstract

In this work, the performance of hole-entry hybrid journal bearing
compensated by constant flow valve (CFV) restrictor under micropolar
lubricants has been numerically simulated. Reynolds equation for micropolar
fluid lubricated bearing has been solved with finite element technique.
Performance of bearing has been evaluated as a function of coupling number N² . The simulated characteristics of bearing under micropolar
lubricants have been compared with similar bearing under Newtonian
lubricant. The results are presented for the selected micropolar parameters N² and lm. Simulated results indicate that the bearing under micropolar
lubricants exhibits the increased values of minimum fluid film thickness,
stiffness and damping coefficients than similar bearing under Newtonian
lubricant. Further, the coefficient of friction decreases for a bearing when it
is operating under micropolar lubricant than Newtonian lubricant.
