Calculated data on steady-state and dynamic properties of the plain cylindrical floating-ring bearing with pressurized lubricant supply are given. The data are for a bearing with L/D of 1, and values of the ratio of inner to outer film clearances of 0.7 and 1.3. One value of dimensionless supply pressure parameter is covered. Experimental results are presented which verify the calculated results and which supplement them, particularly with respect to stability characteristics of the bearing.

Calculated steady-state and dynamic characteristics are given for the four-pad, tilting-pad journal bearing with preload coefficients of 0 and 0.5 and for mean Reynolds up to 12,000. The calculated characteristics are compared with experimental measurements over the same range of operating parameters. Correlation is good, leading to the conclusion that the calculated data are effective for design analysis of rotor-bearing systems using tilting-pad bearings.

This paper evaluates two different journal bearings: a cylindrical bore plain journal bearing and a tri-lobe taper land bearing. Each bearing has the same nominal diameter (89mm) and aspect ratio (L/D = 0.7). The shaft rotational speed ranged from 6krpm to 14krpm and the bearing specific load from 700kPa to 2800kPa. The bearings’ steady-state performance is evaluated according to relative bearing and shaft displacement, bearing operating temperature and power loss. A frequency-domain analysis is used to determine bearing rotordynamic coefficients — it treats the bearing as a mass-spring-damper system. Excitation frequencies range between 20Hz and 350Hz. Ultimately, the tri-lobe taper land bearing offers better stability whereas the cylindrical bore plain journal bearing has a lower eccentricity and runs cooler for a given operating condition. The dynamic properties of the two bearings are found to be similar, although the higher stability of the tri-lobe taper land bearing is also reflected in the dynamic coefficients.

A method for obtaining the performance characteristics of a rotor-tilting pad gas lubricated journal bearing system by solving the appropriate dynamics equations together with the time-transient Reynolds’ equation is outlined. Results for a 4 degree of freedom and an 18 degree of freedom system are given. Comparison with steady-state and experimental results are also discussed.

In this work measurements of mean holdup of dispersed phase, of axial holdup profiles and of flooding points in a reciprocating plate contactor with both the VPE-type plates and the sieve plates were carried out. The experimental results were compared with a monodisperse model of steady-state column hydrodynamics and the model parameters were evaluated. Important differences in the behaviour of the two plate types could be identified. Comparison was also made between two reciprocating drives of different pulse form.
