Deformation Phase

The generalized energy equation is reduced into a simple form for conduction and convection modes of heat transfer across a hydrodynamic incompressible fluid film in the deformation phase of plane-strain forging. Expressions for the temperature, velocity, and flow distributions are obtained by solving the energy equation with appropriate boundary conditions. Application of this analysis is illustrated for the film formation process in the deformation phase of liquid lubricated plane strain forging. The analysis indicates that the Peclet number plays an important role in deciding the variation of lubricant film thickness with position and time in the deformation phase. [S0742-4787(00)02504-2]

Shear Energy

A thermal Reynolds equation, which takes into account viscosity variation across the lubricant film thickness due to shear energy dissipation within the film, has been developed. It also takes into account the effect of conduction and convection on heat transfer in the lubricant film. It indicates that the pressure gradients developed in a no-slip lubricated contact are increased with an increase in Peclet number. The use of the equation is illustrated by applying it in the film formation process in the yield phase of liquid lubricated plane strain forging. The analysis indicates that the Peclet number plays a dominant role infixing the lubricant film thickness in such contacts.

Film Thickness Measurement

An understanding of mechanisms which are responsible for elastohydrodynamic lubricant film formation under high sliding conditions is necessary to increase durability of machine parts. This work combines thin-film colorimetric interferometry for lubricant film thickness measurement and infrared microscopy for in-depth temperature mapping through the contact. The results describe the effect of operating conditions such as speed, slide-to-roll ratio, ambient temperature, and sliding direction on lubricant film thickness and temperature distribution. Film thickness data shows how much the film shape is sensitive to operating conditions when thermal effects are significant, while the temperature profiles provides an explanation of this behavior.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate lubricant film-forming capability of oil-impregnated sintered material in highly loaded non-conformal contacts. This self-lubrication mechanism is well described in lightly loaded conformal contacts such as journal bearings; however, only a little has been published about the application to highly loaded contacts under elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime (EHL).Design/methodology/approachThin film colorimetric interferometry is used to describe the effect of different operating conditions on lubricant film formation in line contacts.FindingsUnder fully flooded conditions, the effect of porous structure can be mainly traced back to the different elastic properties. When the contact is lubricated only by oil bleeding from the oil-impregnated sintered material, starvation is likely to occur. It is indicated that lubricant film thickness is mainly governed by oil bleeding capacity. The relationship between oil starvation parameters corresponds well with classic starved EHL theory.Practical implicationsTo show practical, relevant limitations of the considered self-lubrication system, time tests were conducted. The findings indicate that EHL contact with oil-impregnated sintered material may provide about 40 per cent of fully flooded film thickness.Originality/valueFor the first time, the paper presents results on the EHL film-forming capability of oil-impregnated sintered material by measuring the lubricant film thickness directly. The present paper identifies the phenomena involved, which is necessary for the understanding of the behavior of this complex tribological system.

A model for the thermal behavior of lubricant in the cavitated regions of a journal bearing is presented. The model assumes a bubbly mixture of liquid and air and includes the calculation of local mixture properties for the fluid film. Temperature in the film is calculated by a first order approximate energy equation that includes heat transfer between the film and its boundaries. A second order profile is assumed to represent the temperature distribution across the film. The classical Reynolds equation is applied, using a viscosity that does not vary across the film. Results of calculations are compared with published experimental results and with a prior theory that uses an effective length calculation in the cavitation zone. Results are found to be in good agreement with experiment at two different speeds, predicting the peak temperature of the bearing wall within 10 to 20 percent of the total temperature rise. The model predicts the temperature in the cavitated zone with much greater accuracy than the effective length model, with all theoretical values within 2 C of the measured values.

The oil film thickness on the bearing chamber wall directly affects the wall heat transfer efficiency, so a fundamental study on the motion of oil film on the rotating cylinder has been conducted to this end. On the one hand, the rotating cylinder test rig was designed, and an ultrasonic measurement system was established to measure the dynamic oil film thickness. On the other hand, the unsteady oil film heat and mass transfer movement model was also established, and the numerical simulation to solve oil film motion by using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) commercial software was carried out. Meanwhile, on the basis of study on the oil film formation process and film thickness verification, the oil film distributions on the chamber wall with rotation speed and oil flow rate were analyzed and studied. Results show that the oil film on the rotating chamber wall experiences a development process from the oil film formation to basic stability, about 1.0 s in this paper. And comparison between the numerical and experimental data shows that the maximum error between experimental data and numerical simulation is 7.76%. Moreover, for the oil film distributions in the stable state, oil film thickness shows a trend of decreasing with the increasing of rotation speed, but increasing with the increasing of oil flow rate. The research here will provide the basis for subsequent study of the interaction between oil film motion and the wall heat transfer.

Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique in conjunction with UV-visible (UVV) technique and atomic force microscope (AFM) was used for studying film formation from TiO2covered nanosized polystyrene (PS) latex particles (320 nm). The effects of film thickness and TiO2content on the film formation and structure properties of PS/TiO2composites were studied. For this purpose, two different sets of PS films with thicknesses of 5 and 20 μm were prepared from pyrene-(P-) labeled PS particles and covered with various layers of TiO2using dip-coating method. These films were then annealed at elevated temperatures above glass transition temperature () of PS in the range of 100–280°C. Fluorescence emission intensity, from P and transmitted light intensity, were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. The results showed that film formation from PS latexes occurs on the top surface of PS/TiO2composites and thus developed independent of TiO2content for both film sets. But the surface morphology of the films was found to vary with both TiO2content and film thickness. After removal of PS, thin films provide a quite ordered porous structure while thick films showed nonporous structure.

Heat transfer in micro scale two-phase flow attracts large attention since it can achieve large heat transfer area per density. At high quality, annular flow becomes one of the major flow regimes in micro two-phase flow. Heat is transferred by evaporation or condensation of the liquid film, which are the dominant mechanisms of micro scale heat transfer. Therefore, liquid film thickness is one of the most important parameters in modeling the phenomena. In macro tubes, large numbers of researches have been conducted to investigate the liquid film thickness. However, in micro tubes, quantitative information for the annular liquid film thickness is still limited. In the present study, annular liquid film thickness is measured using a confocal method, which is used in the previous study [1, 2]. Glass tubes with inner diameters of 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 mm are used. Degassed water and FC40 are used as working fluids, and the total mass flux is varied from G = 100 to 500 kg/m2s. Liquid film thickness is measured by laser confocal displacement meter (LCDM), and the liquid-gas interface profile is observed by a high-speed camera. Mean liquid film thickness is then plotted against quality for different flow rates and tube diameters. Mean thickness data is compared with the smooth annular film model of Revellin et al. [3]. Annular film model predictions overestimated the experimental values especially at low quality. It is considered that this overestimation is attributed to the disturbances caused by the interface ripples.

Catastrophic bearing failure is a major concern for the railroad industry because it can lead to costly train stoppages and even derailments. Excessive heat buildup within the bearing is one of the main factors that can warn of impending failure. A question is often raised regarding the transfer of heat from a wheel during braking and whether this can lead to false setouts. Therefore, this work was motivated by the need to understand and quantify the heat transfer paths to the tapered roller bearing within the railroad wheel assembly when wheel heating occurs. A series of experiments and finite element (FE) analyses were conducted in order to identify the different heat transfer mechanisms, with emphasis on radiation. The experimental setup consisted of a train axle with two wheels and bearings pressed onto their respective journals. One of the wheels was heated using an electric tape placed around the outside of the rim. A total of 32 thermocouples scattered throughout the heated wheel, the axle, and the bearing circumference measured the temperature distribution within the assembly. In order to quantify the heat radiated to the bearing, a second set of experiments was developed; these included, in addition to the axle and the wheel pair, a parabolic reflector that blocked body-to-body radiation to the bearing. The appropriate boundary conditions including ambient temperature, emissivity, and convection coefficient estimates were measured or calculated from the aforementioned experiments. The FE thermal analysis of the wheel assembly was performed using the ALGOR™ software. Experimental temperature data along the radius of the heated wheel, the bearing circumference, and at selected locations on the axle were compared to the results of the FE model to verify its accuracy. The results indicate that the effect of thermal radiation from a hot wheel on the cup temperature of the adjacent bearing is minimal when the wheel tread temperature is at 135°C (275°F), and does not exceed 17°C (31°F) when the wheel tread is at 315°C (600°F).

SummaryA method is described whereby, at any point in an infinite parallel annulus, the approximate axial velocity due to a single row of high aspect ratio blades may be calculated from a knowledge of the conditions of flow adjacent to the blades. The method is based on the assumption of a simplified expression for the radial velocity, being the product of an unknown function of the radius and an exponential term independent of the radius containing an undetermined constant; the function and the undetermined constant are calculated by reference to the conditions of flow in the plane of the row considered. The flow due to any number of rows is then obtained by summing the radial velocity fields due to each row and obtaining the axial velocities by integration of the equation of continuity.The solution of the problem with infinitely many rows is shown to have a simple form by virtue of the fact that the flow (provided that the velocities remain finite) settles down to a pattern which is periodic by one stage pitch.
