Effect of non-Newtonian lubrication of squeeze film conical bearing with the porous wall operating with Rabinowitsch fluid model

Abstract

In this article, a theoretical study is made to explore the effect of squeezing film in conical bearing for the permeable porous wall utilizing non-Newtonian lubricants. The Permeable medium impacts are characterized by modified Darcy’s law. The modified Reynolds equation representing the non-Newtonian properties following the cubic stress law condition is determined. After general contemplations on the flow in a bearing clearance and in a porous wall, the Cameron approximation is used to acquire modified Reynolds equation. The perturbation technique is used to solve the modified Reynolds equation and closed-form expressions are obtained for the fluid film pressure, load capacity, and response time. The results are illustrated by the graphical representation which shows that the introduction of porous on conical bearing with Rabinowitsch fluid, dilatant lubricant increases the film pressure, load capacity, and response time and decrease for pseudoplastic lubricant as compared to Newtonian fluid.
