    The document discusses experimental analysis of hydrodynamic journal bearings and how factors like speed, load, clearance, and material properties affect fluid film pressure and load capacity. It also compares results from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis with experimental measurements.

    The document finds that fluid film pressure in hydrodynamic journal bearings increases with both increasing speed and load. Higher speeds also allow the bearing to stabilize. Higher loads and speeds can deform the bearing shell, increasing fluid flow within the clearance volume and reducing pressure.

    The document concludes that CFD analysis results for minimum pressure and load capacity match well with experimental measurements, validating the CFD approach. Multi-lobe bearings demonstrate higher pressures and load capacities than simple bearings, especially at higher speeds.

    INTRODUCTION:
    Hydrodynamic journal bearing is defined as a
    mechanical element which supports high load due to
    wedge shape geometry formed during the relative
    motion between journal and bearing surface.
    Hydrodynamic journal bearing is widely used due to its
    high load carrying capacity and good damping properties
    [1]. The major problem with hydrodynamic bearing is
    failure of fluid film during the operation. This may cause
    metal to metal contact between journal and bearing
    surface. This leads to wear and friction which overheats fig. 1 Fluid Film Geometry in Ansys
    the surfaces [6]. Hence the power loss increases. In this
    paper Experimental analysis of hydrodynamic simple The journal has given random offset origin

    that the Speed and Load occurring at bearing highly Journal of Scientific and Research Publication,
    affects the bearing fluid film. The pressure of fluid film Volume 2, Issue 9, September 2012
    gets increases with increase of load and speed. It was
    also seen that at higher rpm bearing gets stabilized. Due
    to higher load and speed the bearing shell gets
    deformed. This deformation leads to increase the flow of
    fluid film inside the clearance volume, which reduces
    pressure of fluid film. The higher pressure got from
    Fluent on fluid film was 3.22 Bar and experimental
    pressure value was 3.12 Bar. This validates the result of
    Minimum pressure of multi-lobe bearing as compare
    with simple bearing and maximum load carrying
    capacity of multi lobe than simple bearing at 4500 RPM
    The results of higher pressure of bearing with multi lobe
    bearing and simple bearing shows that with change of
    the pressure generated inside the bearing gets reduced.
    In multi-lobe bearing and simple bearing there is
    maximum pressure variation with respect to different
    speed, eccentricity and attitude angle. The load carrying
    capacity is also more in multi-lobe bearing. When we
    compare the results obtained from both CFD and
    Experimental we can say that, the bearing with lower
    outer diameter shows more deformation. Due to this the
    pressure of fluid film gets reduced. The load carrying
    capacity also increases. But due to more deformation
    bearing life may get reduced.
