Part-B 3×5=15
1 Explain the following terms as applied to journal bearings :(a) 1 Apply
Bearing characteristic number ; and (b) Bearing modulus. (3)
2 A tentative design of a journal bearing results in a diameter of 75 mm 1 Analysis
and a length of 125 mm for supporting a load of 20 kN. The shaft (4)
runs at 1000 r.p.m. The bearing surface temperature is not to exceed
75°C in a room temperature of 35°C. The oil used has an absolute
viscosity of 0.01 kg/m-s at the operating temperature. Determine the
amount of artificial cooling required in watts. Assume d/c = 1000.
3 Write short note on classifications and different types of antifriction 1 Apply
bearings. (3)
