Homework assignment 6 Solution

Task 1

Given: dmax = 25 mm, bmin = 25.03 mm, l/d = 1/2, W = 1.2 kN, µ = 55 mPa⋅s, N = 1100 rev/min

a) Journal diameter dmin = 25 mm – 0.03 mm = 24.97 mm

dmax = 25 mm

Bore diameter bmin = 25.03 mm

bmax = 25.03 mm + 0.04 mm = 25.07 mm

bmin − d max 25.03 − 25

=cmin = = 0.015 mm
2 2

cmax = (bmax – dmin)/2 = (25.07 mm - 24.97 mm )/2 = 0.05 mm

b) r = 25 mm /2 = 12.5 mm

r/c = 12.5 mm /0.015 mm = 833.3

N = 1100 rev/min /60 = 18.33 rev/s

l = 0.5 d = 12.5 mm

P = W / (ld) = 1200 N / [12.5 mm * 25 mm] = 3.84 N/mm2 = 3.84 MPa

Fig. 12-16: h0 /c = 0.3 ⇒ h0 = 0.3 * 0.015 mm = 0.0045 mm

c) Fig. 12-18: f (r/c) = 5.4 ⇒ f = 5.4 / 833.3 = 0.00648

T =f Wr = 0.00648* 1200N *12.5(10−3)m = 0.0972 N⋅m

Hloss = 2π TN = 2π (0.0972 Nm)* 18.33 rev/s = 11.2 W

d) = 55 mPa⋅s *18.33 rev/s / 3.84 MPa = 262.5 *10-3 * 10-6 = 2.625 *10-7 < 1.7 *10-6

no, thick-film lubrication is not completely ensured

e) Fig. 12-19: Q/(rcNl) = 5.1 ⇒ Q = 5.1* (12.5 mm)* 0.015mm *(18.33 1/s )* 12.5 mm

= 219 mm /s

Fig. 12-20: Qs /Q = 0.81 ⇒ Qs = 0.81 (219 mm3/s) = 177 mm3/s Ans.
