COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF LOAD CAPACITY IN FINITE JOURNAL BEARINGS

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of additives on lubrication, taking into
account viscosity changes and temperature effects, as published in the journal Finite Journal.
A generalized Reynolds equation for a two-layer fluid is formulated and applied to finite
journal bearings. The Finite Difference Method is employed to numerically solve the
modified Reynolds equation for finite journal bearings. It is observed that both pressure and
load capacity during the lubrication process increase with the growing impact of temperature
on two-layer fluids.
