Study of Load Carrying Capacity of Gas Lubricated Slider Bearing using Slip Condition

Abstract

Slip is assumed to occur where critical shear stress is exceeded (discuss in this report). However different type of research have found that slip can occur with specially engineered surface. Also in this project a new generalized Reynolds formula for no slip surface, which is used in gas lubricated slider is generated by modifying the basic Reynolds equation considering the isothermal process without taking any approximation and due to this modify Reynolds equation is nonlinear, therefore Newton Rapson trial and error method is used for solving this equation. And the report shows how this equation give the load value also, the report shows that the different type of (negative textured) recess which is used in slider having same dimensions. The slider with ellipse texture (recess) is having more load carrying capacity than circular one then to square shaped gas slider and similarly for flow rate also.
