Consider an infinitely wide taper-step slider bearing shown in Figure 6.16. (a) Write down all the necessary boundary conditions for this problem.. (b) Starting from the Reynolds equation, determine an expression for the pressure distribution for this bearing. (c) Plot the pressure profile. (A simple sketch is sufficient. If you wish to use a plotting package, then use some typical numbers for viscosity and dimensions.) (d) Show that when h₁(x) = h, (constant film thickness) and P₁ = 0, the expres- sion for the pressure distribution reduces to that for the Rayleigh step bearing. (e) Determine an expression for the velocity profile and volumetric flow rate. ₂ B₁ Figure 6.16 Problem 6.6 B₂ Consider an infinitely wide taper-step slider bearing shown in Figure 6.16.
