Detailed accurate measurements of velocities, directions, and fluctuation intensities were performed with a newly developed laser velocimeter in the internal flow field of a radial discharge impeller, running at tip speeds up to 400 m/s. Relative flow distributions are presented in five measurement areas from inducer inlet to impeller discharge. The impeller flow pattern, which coincides largely with potential-theory calculations in the axial inducer, becomes more and more reversed when the flow separates from the blade suction side, developing a rapidly increasing wake in the radial impeller. The observed secondary flow pattern and effects of channel curvature and system rotation on turbulence structure are discussed with respect to separation onset and jet/wake interaction.

Today's modern internal combustion engines are increasingly focused on downsizing, high fuel efficiency and low emissions, which requires appropriate design and technology of turbocharger bearing systems. Automotive turbochargers operate faster and with strong engine excitation; vibration management is becoming a challenge and manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the design of low vibration and high-performance balancing technology. This paper discusses the synchronous vibration management of the ball bearing cartridge turbocharger on high-speed balancer and it is a continuation of papers [1–3]. In a first step, the synchronous rotordynamics behavior is identified. A prediction code is developed to calculate the static and dynamic performance of “ball bearing cartridge-squeeze film damper”. The dynamic behavior of balls is modeled by a spring with stiffness calculated from Tedric Harris formulas and the damping is considered null. The squeeze film damper model is derived from the Osborne Reynolds equation for incompressible and synchronous fluid loading; the stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated assuming that the bearing is infinitely short, and the oil film pressure is modeled as a cavitated π film model. The stiffness and damping coefficients are integrated on a rotordynamics code and the bearing loads are calculated by converging with the bearing eccentricity ratio. In a second step, a finite element structural dynamics model is built for the system “turbocharger housing-high speed balancer fixture” and validated by experimental frequency response functions. In the last step, the rotating dynamic bearing loads on the squeeze film damper are coupled with transfer functions and the vibration on the housings is predicted. The vibration response under single and multi-plane unbalances correlates very well with test data from turbocharger unbalance masters. The prediction model allows a thorough understanding of ball bearing turbocharger vibration on a high speed balancer, thus optimizing the dynamic behavior of the “turbocharger-high speed balancer” structural system for better rotordynamics performance identification and selection of the appropriate balancing process at the development stage of the turbocharger.

Background: Angular contact ball bearing is an important component of many high-speed rotating mechanical systems. Oil-air lubrication makes it possible for angular contact ball bearing to operate at high speed. So the lubrication state of angular contact ball bearing directly affects the performance of the mechanical systems. However, as bearing rotation speed increases, the temperature rise is still the dominant limiting factor for improving the performance and service life of angular contact ball bearings. Therefore, it is very necessary to predict the temperature rise of angular contact ball bearings lubricated with oil-air. Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of temperature calculation of bearing from many studies and patents, and propose a new prediction method for temperature rise of angular contact ball bearing. Methods: Based on the artificial neural network and genetic algorithm, a new prediction methodology for bearings temperature rise was proposed which capitalizes on the notion that the temperature rise of oil-air lubricated angular contact ball bearing is generally coupling. The influence factors of temperature rise in high-speed angular contact ball bearings were analyzed through grey relational analysis, and the key influence factors are determined. Combined with Genetic Algorithm (GA), the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model based on these key influence factors was built up, two groups of experimental data were used to train and validate the ANN model. Results: Compared with the ANN model, the ANN-GA model has shorter training time, higher accuracy and better stability, the output of ANN-GA model shows a good agreement with the experimental data, above 92% of bearing temperature rise under varying conditions can be predicted using the ANNGA model. Conclusion: A new method was proposed to predict the temperature rise of oil-air lubricated angular contact ball bearings based on the artificial neural network and genetic algorithm. The results show that the prediction model has good accuracy, stability and robustness.

This paper presents the visualization results obtained for an experimental study of R134a during flow boiling in a horizontal microchannel. The microchannel used was a fused silica tube having an internal diameter of 781 μm, a heated length of 191 mm, and was coated with a thin, transparent, and electrically conductive layer of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) on the outer surface. The operating parameters during the experiments were: mass flux 100–400 kg/m2 s, heat flux 5–45 kW/m2, saturation temperatures 25 and 30 °C, corresponding to saturation pressures of 6.65 bar and 7.70 bar and reduced pressures of 0.163 and 0.189, respectively. A high speed camera with a close up lens was used to capture the flow patterns that evolved along the channel. Flow pattern maps are presented in terms of the superficial gas and liquid velocity and in terms of the Reynolds number and vapor quality plots. The results are compared with some flow pattern maps for conventional and micro scale channels available in the literature. Rigorous boiling and increased coalescence rates were observed with an increase in the heat flux.

Ball Motion

This paper describes the development of a computer program used to analyze completely the motion of a ball in a high-speed, thrust-loaded ball bearing. Particular emphasis is paid to the role of the lubricant in governing the forces and moments acting on each ball. Expressions for these forces due to the rolling and sliding of the ball are derived in the light of the latest fluid models, and estimates are also made of the cage forces applicable in this specific situation. It is found that only when lubricant viscoelastic behavior is considered do the theoretical predictions agree with existing experimental evidence.

Improved Model

In this study, an improved model for a ball bearing is established to investigate the vibration response characteristics owing to outer race waviness under an axial load and high speed. The mathematical ball bearing model involves the motions of the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling elements in the radial XY plane and axial z direction. The 2Nb + 5 nonlinear differential governing equations of the ball bearing are derived from Lagrange's equation. The influence of rotational speed and outer race waviness is considered. The outer race waviness is modeled as a superposition of sinusoidal function and affects both the contact deformation between the outer raceway and rolling elements and initial clearance. The MATLAB stiff solver ODE is utilized to solve the differential equations. The simulated results show that the axial vibration frequency occurred at l fc and the radial vibration frequencies appeared at l fc fc when the outer race waviness of the order (l) was the multiple of the number of rolling elements (k Nb) and that the principal vibration frequencies were observed at l fc fc in the radial x direction when the outer race waviness of the order (l) was one higher or one lower than the multiple of the number of rolling elements (k Nb 1). At last, the validity of the proposed ball bearing model was verified by the high-speed vibration measurement tests of ball bearings.
