Governing Equation
In the previous lecture, the momentum and continuity equations were used to develop the following equation
3 h (x ) dp dh (x ) = 6U x dx dx
This equation was generalized to include lubricant flow in both the circumferential and longitudinal directions
3 3 ( ) ( ) h x dp h x dp dh (x ) = 6U x dx z dz dx
This equation is generally solved using specialty computer programs.
Design Variables
Independent Variables Viscosity, Load, P (W/projected Area) Speed, N Dimensions r, c, , and L Dependent Variables Friction, f Temperature rise, T Volumetric flow rate, Q Minimum film thickness, ho
The objective of the design engineer is to select the independent variables necessary to achieve desired performance criteria. The dependent variables will be dictated by the selections made for the independent variables.
Graphical Data
Raimondi and Boyd (1958) did extensive numerical studies on the relationships between the various parameters that govern the design of fluid film bearings and published graphical data to facilitate the design of such bearings. The charts presented in this lecture are for long bearings with =360o (full bearings).

Viscosity-Temperature Charts
The viscosity of lubricants used in fluid-film bearings are very temperature dependent. As work is done on the fluid as it moves through the bearing it heats up. The viscosity used in the design/analysis of a fluidfilm bearing should be based on the average temperature.

T = Tin + 2
An initial T is estimated at the start of an analysis. Iteration will be required based on the actual T.

Sommerfeld Number
The Sommerfeld Number is used extensively in journal bearing design. r c N P journal radius clearance dynamic viscosity rotational speed (rev/sec) bearing load/projected area
r N S= c P
Note that consistent units must be used. The unit for the Sommerfeld number is Rev.

Example Problem
Given design parameters: SAE 30 Oil Tin = 150 oF N = 30 rev/sec W = 500 lb r = 0.75 in c = 0.0015 in L = 1.50 in (oil inlet temperature) (journal rotational speed) (total load acting on bearing) (journal radius) (clearance between journal and bearing) (length of bearing)
Use the Raimondi-Boyd charts to determine the bearing performance parameters.

A journal bearing has a diameter of 3 in and is 1.5 in long; it supports a load of 800 lbf. The journal speed is 600 rev/min and the radial clearance is 0.0025 in. Find the minimum oil-film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both SAE 10 and SAE 40 lubricants if the operating temperature is 150 oF. Discuss why one has a larger film thickness than the other.
