Ferro Fluid Based Rough Porous Tilted Pad Bearing with Slip Effect

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to propose an innovative mathematical model, which describes the influence of slip and transverse roughness on a hydromagnetic squeeze film in porous tilted pad bearing. The stochastic model of Christensen and Tonder is, applied to evaluate the effect of surface roughness. Beavers and Joseph slip model takes the care of slip effect. Applying these models which governing the fluid pressure; is solved for the calculation of load support. The closed form solution is, obtained for the pressure and load capacity as a function of various physical parameters. The effect of such parameters is, discussed through graphical representations. The computations indicate that slip has to be at minimum for any upgrading in the bearing design. Besides, the absence of flow fails to keep away the bearing from supporting good amount of load, which does not happen in the case of traditional lubricant.
