Abstract
A theoretical model is developed to study the performance of a hole-entry hybrid journal bearing system by considering variation of viscosity due to temperature rise of the lubricant in the analysis. The deformation of bush due to fluid-film pressure and temperature has been considered to establish the modified fluid-film profile. The journal temperature is computed on the basis of the fluid-film temperature. The relevant governing equations have been solved using the finite element method and a suitable iterative technique. The thermoelastohydrostatic performance of an orifice compensated symmetric and asymmetric hole-entry hybrid journal bearing configurations has been studied for the chosen bearing operating and geometric parameters. The results presented in the study indicate that the variation of viscosity due to temperature rise of the lubricant fluid-film have a quite appreciable influence on the static and dynamic performance of a hole-entry hybrid journal bearing system.
