EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN JOURNAL BEARING OPERATING AT BOUNDARY/MIXED LUBRICATION REGIMES

The excessive rise of temperature in the journal bearing operating at boundary/mixed lubrication regimes. Journal bearing test set-up is used to measure the temperature along the circumference of the bearing specimen for different loading conditions. Here in this journal bearing of l/d ratio 1, diameter of journal is 60mm and the bearing length is 60mm, clearance is 0.06mm has been designed and tested to access the temperature rise of the bearing. The result shows that as the load on the bearing is increasing temperature also increasing. Temperature analysis of journal bearing is also done by the Ansys workbench software
