Abstract:Modified Reynolds-Darcy equation for ferrofluid lubricated squeeze-film bearing, made by flat circular porous upper and flat circular impermeable lower discs, is derived. The ferrofluid is controlled by oblique variable magnetic field (VMF) and VMF is important because of its advantage of generating maximum field at the required active contact zone. The porous matrix is considered because of its advantageous property of self-lubrication. Moreover, the validity of the Darcy's law is assumed in the porous matrix… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
