Q4.(a) Lubrication (Boundary, Transitional \& Hydrodynamic):
(i) Explain using diagrams the difference between Boundary, Transitional (Mixed)\& Hydrodynamic Lubrication in terms of the presence/absence of asperities in contact of the two surfaces, and their effect on the coefficient of friction.
(ii) Sketch a typical fully labelled (schematic) Stribeck Curve, showing the regions of Boundary, Transitional \& Hydrodynamic Lubrication. (General shape only is required)
(iii) Determine the Hersey Number, which is used to determine the co-efficient of friction between shaft and bearing separated by a lubricating fluid, if the fluid has a dynamic viscosity (\(\mu \)) of 0.582 Pas and an Average Load per projected area, \(\mathrm{P}=500\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\). The shaft rotates at a speed ( N ) of 1500 RPM.
