The temperature distribution in the lubricating film of journal bearings for the three-dimensional case is obtained by using the results already known regarding the pressure distribution in the film and by integrating the energy equation. Relations for the divergent and convergent zones of the bearing are established by taking into account the viscosity and the side leakage; the distribution of the temperature along the bearing width is also considered. Comparisons between the theoretical values and experimental measurements are also performed, resulting in good agreement.

The microwave oven has become a standard appliance to reheat or cook meals in households and convenience stores. However, the main problem of microwave heating is the non-uniform temperature distribution, which may affect food quality and health safety. A three-dimensional mathematical model was developed to simulate the temperature distribution of four ready-to-eat sausages in a plastic package in a stationary versus a rotating microwave oven, and the model was validated experimentally. COMSOL software was applied to predict sausage temperatures at different orientations for the stationary microwave model, whereas COMSOL and COMSOL in combination with MATLAB software were used for a rotating microwave model. A sausage orientation at 135° with the waveguide was similar to that using the rotating microwave model regarding uniform thermal and electric field distributions. Both rotating models provided good agreement between the predicted and actual values and had greater precision than the stationary model. In addition, the computational time using COMSOL in combination with MATLAB was reduced by 60% compared to COMSOL alone. Consequently, the models could assist food producers and associations in designing packaging materials to prevent leakage of the packaging compound, developing new products and applications to improve product heating uniformity, and reducing the cost and time of the research and development stage.

The aim of the present research is to characterize both experimentally and numerically journal bearings with low radial clearances for rotors in small-scale applications (e.g., microgas turbines); their diameter is in the order of ten millimetres, leading to very small dimensional clearances when the typical relative ones (order of 1/1000) are employed; investigating this particular class of journal bearings under static and dynamic loading conditions represents something unexplored. To this goal, a suitable test rig was designed and the performance of its bearings was investigated under steady load. For the sake of comparison, numerical simulations of the lubrication were also performed by means of a simplified model. The original test rig adopted is a commercial rotor kit (RK), but substantial modifications were carried out in order to allow significant measurements. Indeed, the relative radial clearance of RK4 RK bearings is about 2/100, while it is around 1/1000 in industrial bearings. Therefore, the same original RK bearings are employed in this new test rig, but a new shaft was designed to reduce their original clearance. The new custom shaft allows to study bearing behaviour for different clearances, since it is equipped with interchangeable journals. Experimental data obtained by this test rig are then compared with further results of more sophisticated simulations. They were carried out by means of an in-house developed finite element (FEM) code, suitable for thermoelasto-hydrodynamic (TEHD) analysis of journal bearings both in static and dynamic conditions. In this paper, bearing static performances are studied to assess the reliability of the experimental journal location predictions by comparing them with the ones coming from already validated numerical codes. Such comparisons are presented both for large and small clearance bearings of original and modified RKs, respectively. Good agreement is found only for the modified RK equipped with small clearance bearings (relative radial clearance 8/1000), as expected. In comparison with two-dimensional lubrication analysis, three-dimensional simulation improves prediction of journal location and correlation with experimental results.

Cutting temperature is a major factor in controlling tool wear rate. Thus, sensing and control of cutting temperature is important in achieving a desired tool performance. This paper is concerned with estimating the cutting interface temperature distribution based on remote temperature measurements. This class of problems of estimating unknown boundary conditions from known interior quantities is called the inverse problem. The inverse problem of a square insert under steady state conditions is considered in this paper. The temperature distribution in a square insert is best described in Ellipsoidal Coordinates. The mapping functional in the one-dimensional case is solved analytically. The mapping functionals in general three-dimensional cases are solved numerically using the semianalytical finite element method. The mapping functional in a three-dimensional case is represented by a transformation matrix which maps one vector representing the cutting interface temperature distribution to another vector representing the remote temperatures. The transformation matrix is then used to solve the inverse problem of estimating the interface temperature distribution with redundant remote measurements. Measurement errors and transformation matrix errors are imposed in simulation studies. The sensitivity of inverse solutions to these errors is discussed.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of steady state heat conduction in a three dimensional stack package. The temperatures are measured at different interfaces within the stacked package. Delphi devices are used in the experiment which enables controlled power input and surface temperature of the devices. The experiment is carried out for three different boundary conditions on the package. The power input in varied to study its effects. A numerical model is created to compare to the experimental results. The results are also compared with the analytical solution presented in Desai et al [5] and Geer et al [6]. The results indicate that the experimental, numerical and analytical solutions follow the same trend. The agreement between the experimental and numerical results improves when the lateral losses are taken into account.

In this paper a full numerical solution for the thermoelastohydrodynamic problem in elliptical contacts is presented, and the method of computation is also described. The film pressure, thickness, and film shape, the three dimensional temperature distribution within both the film and the bounding solids, as well as the coefficients of the sliding and rolling frictions have all been determined for different rolling velocities and slide-roll ratios. The results obtained indicate the film temperature increases as the rolling velocity or slide-roll ratio increases. The effects of thermal action on the pressure distribution, the film shape and thickness, and the friction factors are also given. The problem studied in this paper is steady-state, the lubricant is assumed to be Newtonian.

AbstractThis study presents a new groove profile using the slant groove depth arrangements to enhance the performance of micro-HGJBs. The computational analysis was based on the steady-state three-dimensional conservation equations of mass and momentum in conjunction with the cavitation model to examine the complex lubricated flow field. The simulated results of load capacity and circumferential pressure distribution of lubricant film are in good agreement with the measurement data and the predictions cited in the literature. Numerical experiments were extended to determine the pressure distribution, load capacity, radial stiffness and friction torque by varying the slant ratio of groove depth, eccentricity ratio, rotational speed and attitude angle. The cavitation extent of lubricant film was also studied for different slant groove patterns.

Under severe operating conditions, the thermal effects and various deformations play an important role in determining the performance of misaligned plain journal bearings. However, the thermal effects and various deformations are rarely considered simultaneously in most studies on the misaligned plain journal bearings. In this article, a comprehensive thermoelastohydrodynamic model of the misaligned plain journal bearings is developed that involves the synthetic solution of the generalized Reynolds equation, three-dimensional energy equation, and heat conduction equations of the solids. Based on this model, series of simulation results are provided to examine the influence of the thermal effects and deformations on the behavior of the misaligned plain journal bearings. In addition, the comparisons between the thermohydrodynamic and complete thermoelastohydrodynamic model are also presented for different misalignment angle and magnitude. Results show that the thermal effects and various deformations should not be ignored because of their significant influence on the film thickness, film pressure as well as other bearings characteristics.
