Abstract
The present theoretical study is concerned with the analysis of surface roughness effects on the steady state performance of stepped circular hydrostatic thrust bearings lubricated with non-Newtonian Rabinowitsch fluids. To take the effects of surface roughness into account, Christensen theory of rough surface has been adopted. Expression for pressure gradient has been derived by means of energy integral approach. Results for film pressure, load carrying capacity and lubricant flow rate has been plotted and analysed on the basis of numerical results. Significant variations in the theoretical results of these properties have been observed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
