Consider a lightly loaded journal bearing using oil having the constant properties ρ 800 kg/m , μ/p 10-5 m2 /s, and k 0.13 W/mK. The journal diameter is 75 mm; the clearance (i.e. gap width) is 0.25 mm, and the bearing oper- ates at 3600 rpm (a) Determine the temperature distribution in the oil film assuming that there is no heat transfer into the journal and that the bear ing surface is maintained at 75° C (b) What is the rate of heat transfer from the bearing, and how much power is needed to rotate the journal?
