“…Figure 3 exhibits that the maximum dimensionless pressure peak (P max ) increases with increase in g. Under constant conditions of q = 0.1, L* = 0.2, Ce = 0.3, e = 0.1, l = 1.0 and b = 0.8, it is evident that P max for magnetized journal bearings obviously increase with increase in magnetic fluids supporting force (g) by about 5.5%, 16.7%, and 38.1% for g = 0.05, g = 0.1 and g = 0.2 in comparison with magnetized journal bearings without magnetic fluids supporting force (g = 0.0) respectively. This phenomenon is mainly due 2.8 3 10 24 m Ratio of width to diameter of bearing, l 1.0 Journal speed, n 2500 RPM Derivative of eccentricity ratio, _ e 0.1(q = 1.0,0.1,0.5), 0(q = 0.0) Derivative of attitude angle, _ u 130.8(q = 1.0), 130.7(q = 0.5), 129.9(q = 0.1) Magnetic fluids supporting force parameter, g 18,19 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 Couple-stress factor L* [20][21][22] 0.0, 0. to the magnetic fluids supporting force generated by the viscosity increase of magnetic fluids under the applied magnetic field, which increases P max . The larger the magnetic fluids supporting force parameter, the bigger maximum dimensionless pressure peak.…”
