TASK NO. 1

CROSS COMPOUND DOUBLE REDUCTION MARINE STEAM TURBINE

THE SYSTEM ABOVE DEPICTS A SYSTEM THAT USES
HIGH-PRESSURE, HIGH-TEMPERATURE STEAM COMING FROM
A SHIP'S BOILER TO OPERATE A TURBINE. THE STEAM IS FED
INTO A MAIN CONDENSER AFTER PASSING THROUGH A HIGH-
PRESSURE TURBINE AND A LOW-PRESSURE TURBINE. A
LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM UTILIZES A PUMP AND A BACKUP
PUMP TO LUBRICATE AND LOWER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
SYSTEM'S MULTIPLE PARTS. A GRAVITY FEED SYSTEM CAN
MAINTAIN THE COMPONENTS LUBRICATED IN THE CASE OF A
POWER OUTAGE UNTIL THE TURBINE CEASES.

TASK NO. 2

RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE STRIBECK PARAMATER, COEFFICIENT OF

FRICTION, BEARING LIFE FACTOR, AND SPECIFIC FLUID FILM
BEARING LUBRICATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR ENSURING
THE PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY OF ROLLING ELEMENT
BEARINGS. FURTHERMORE, THE LUBRICANT LAYER
THICKNESS AT THE CONTACT OF A HYDRODYNAMIC
JOURNAL BEARING STRONGLY INFLUENCES ITS EFFICIENCY.
IF IT IS EXCESSIVELY THIN, THE SURFACES WILL COME INTO
CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE
WEAR AND FRICTION.

TASK NO. 3

OPERATION OF A JOURNAL BEARING

ONE EXAMPLE OF A HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION
IS THE OPERATION OF JOURNAL OR SLEEVE BEARINGS.
HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION IS CLAIMED TO EXIST WHEN
THE MOVING SURFACES ARE SEPARATED FROM EACH
OTHER BY THE PRESSURE OF A CONTINUOUS UNBROKEN FILM
OR LAYER OF LUBRICANT. IN THIS METHOD OF LUBRICATION,
THE OIL COATING ENTIRELY ABSORBS THE LOAD.
HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION IS BASED ON THE CREATION
OF AN OIL WEDGE. AN OIL TAPER OR WEDGE FORMS
BETWEEN THE TWO SURFACES, AND THE OIL FILM'S
PRESSURE SUSTAINS THE LOAD WHEN THE JOURNAL
ROTATES. HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION IS AFFECTED BY
THE RELATIVE SPEED OF THE SURFACES, THE VISCOSITY OF
THE OIL, THE LOAD, AND THE SPACE BETWEEN THE MOVING
OR SLIDING SURFACES.

JOURNAL BEARING

TASK NO. 4
THE CAPACITY OF THE BEARING TO MODIFY OR
ADAPT TO UNEXPECTED DEFECTS IN THE SYSTEM, SUCH AS
DIRT AND THE BEARING NOT BEING IN THE CENTER OF THE
HOUSING, IS REFERRED TO AS EMBEDDABILITY AND
CONFORMABILITY. FROM THE ROOT WORD EMBED, WHICH
MEANING "HIDDEN," EMBEDDABILITY REFERS TO MINUSCULE
PARTICLES THAT INFLUENCE THE SMOOTH SLIDING CONTACT
OF THE BEARING AND HOUSING, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES
CONFORMABILITY. SOME EXAMPLES OF MATERIALS THAT
POSSESS THESE FACTORS ARE THE SOFT AND LOW MODULUS
METALS LIKE TIN ARE IDEAL FOR ITS PROPERTIES.
THE STRENGTH OF THE MATERIAL USED TO CREATE
THE STRUCTURE IS A SIGNIFICANT ATTRIBUTE. BEARING
STRENGTH IS ANOTHER TERM FOR BEARING CAPACITY. A
STRUCTURE'S BEARING STRENGTH IS DEFINED AS THE
HIGHEST AMOUNT OF STRESS THAT A COMPONENT OR
STRUCTURE CAN ENDURE BEFORE FAILING. THE FATIGUE
STRENGTH OF THE BEARING MATERIAL SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT TO ENDURE REPEATED LOADS WITHOUT
FORMING SURFACE FATIGUE FRACTURES.
THIS CHARACTERISTIC IS LINKED TO THE PREVIOUS
TWO FACTORS SINCE SOMETHING WITH POOR THERMAL

CONDUCTIVITY CANNOT WORK CORRECTLY UNDER HIGH

HEAT, RESULTING IN DISTORTIONS AND MISALIGNMENT. FOR
EXAMPLE, THE BEARING AND HOUSING MUST HAVE
COMPATIBLE THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS IN ORDER TO
MINIMIZE LARGE DEFORMATION WHEN EXPOSED TO INTENSE
HEAT.
