Question:
As a consulting engineer, you have been asked to evaluate the performance of a new, improved lubricant to be used in a circumferentially grooved bearing. Experiment shows that the viscosity of the lubricant varies according to the following equation: exp A exp TK B where TK temperature in Kelvin, viscosity in pa s A and B The bearing is a circumferentially grooved, full journal bearing and has the following specifications: D mm; l mm; N rpm; C mm; W kN The lubricant supply temperature T C and the supply pressure PS Nmma Determine the eccentricity ratio, oil flow rate, exit oil temperature, friction coefficient, and power loss, assuming that the isoviscous solution prevails, ie that the lubricant viscosity remains fixed at the supply temperature T Cb Take into account the viscosity variation with temperature. For this purpose, iterations are needed and you are to write a computer program to do this task. Tabulate the final, converged results in b and compare it to the isoviscous solutions of a
