Abstract:Turbochargers have been widely used in various base conditions, such as horizontal, vertical, or inclined. The prediction of the dynamics is of utmost importance to inclined turbocharger designers. In this paper, the effect of weight on the critical speed of an inclined turbocharger rotor coupled with floating ring bearings is investigated. The inclined turbocharger rotor is modeled by lumped mass model. The nonlinear floating ring bearing model is derived using Capone’s model. Then the nonlinear dynamic model… 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.
