Performance Characteristics of Noncircular Bearings in Laminar and Turbulent Flow Regimes

Static and dynamic characteristics of short wavy journal bearings

“…To improve the static and dynamic characteristics of hydrodynamic journal bearings, many researchers have resorted to non-circular geometries. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] It is well reported in the literature and has been found to be better as compared to circular geometry. Soni et al 7 have studied two-lobe bearing geometry and solved the modifi ed Reynolds equation using fi nite element theory.…”

Graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile onto Cassia tora gum with ceric ammonium nitrate–nitric acid as a redox initiator

“…Methylation studies showed that the backbone of the polysaccharide has a fundamental structure consisting of a linear chain of β‐ D ‐(1→4)‐linked mannopyranosyl residues substituted by α‐ D ‐galactopyranosyl groups mainly at O‐6 10. There have been very few reports on the chemical modification of CTG and its uses 11–14. With the view that grafted CTG may find better applications in comparison to native CTG, we carried out the grafting of AN onto CTG in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a redox initiator; the reaction conditions for graft copolymerization were optimized and are reported in this article.…”

Dynamic and Static Characteristics of Wavy Annular Seals in Turbulent Flow

“…(8) and (11) were taken as converged when the largest error obtained from two successive iterations was less than 0.0001. However, the number of iterations required to arrive at a converged solution of Eq.…”

“…Soni et al 8) studied the performance of two lobe journal bearing using turbulent lubrication theory of Ng and Pan 1) . Vaidyanathan and Keith 9) analyzed elliptical and two lobe journal bearings.…”
