Static performance of short hydrodynamic journal bearing operating with lubricant containing TiO2 nanoparticles.

This paper presents, the static study of hydrodynamic short journal bearing effective under Nano lubricants. Lubricant viscosity is affected the load resonant capacity of journal bearing. The performance of the bearing is influenced by the % of Nano particles added in the base lubricants. The current work modified Reynolds equation is utilized to get the pressure of the bearing. The narrow bearing estimation method is utilized to solve the modified Reynolds equation. For different eccentricity ratios the static characteristics in terms of load capacity, attitude angle and friction evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
