Abstract
ABSTRACTThis research work explores the effects of thermal and inertia on hydrodynamic lubrication of asymmetric rigid rollers by incompressible non-Newtonian power law fluids and assesses the contribution of inertia to the system under consideration. The consistency of the power law lubricants is assumed to vary with the pressure and mean film temperature. The governing equations are solved first analytically and then numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method together with some reasonable tolerance. The results obtained confirm that there is significant increase in load and traction due to inertia. In addition, the effect of inertia shifts the pressure peak and the cavitation points toward the left.
