Effect of Solid Particle on Rough Thermo-Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication with Non-Newtonian Lubricant

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the performance characteristics of rough thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) with non-Newtonian liquid–solid lubricant based on a Power law viscosity model. The time independent modified Reynolds equation, elasticity equation and energy equation were solved numerically using finite different method, Newton-Raphson method and multigrid multilevel methods were used to obtain the film pressure profiles and film thickness in the contact region. The effects of amplitude of surface roughness and concentration of solid particles are examined. The simulation results showed surface roughness has rapidly effect on film pressure and film temperature. The effect of solid particle can be increases film thickness and decreases friction coefficient.
