Performance characteristics in hydrodynamic water cooled thrust bearings
Farooq Ahmad Naja1, Harmain, G. A2.
This paper deals with the study of the influence on performance characteristics of a thrust bearing with the
introduction of cooling circuit and flow velocity of coolant within the designed thrust bearings is described.
New method of cooling circuit configuration is taken into consideration and water has been chosen as a
coolant here in the present work. Flow velocity of coolant, ranging from 0.5m/s to 2.0m/s is proposed. The
Finite difference based numerical model has been developed in order to notice the effect on the heat
transfer on a large hydrodynamic lubrication thrust bearing in-terms of its performance characteristics. In
the present work, the solution of Reynolds equation, an energy equation with viscosity variation and
Fourier heat conduction equations, applied with appropriate boundary conditions. From the present
investigation, it is observed significant amount of heat content is removed from the bearing with the
increase of flow velocity of coolant in an embedded cooling duct within the pad. An important parameter
among performance characteristics has prevailed a significant increase in hydrodynamic pressure
generation which in turn subsequently increases the load carrying capacity which has been never ever
documented in the background literature.
