TL;DR: The computed results presented in graphical form suggest that the bearing system registers an improved performance owing to the magnetic fluid as compared to the conventional lubricant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a ferrofluid-based hydrodynamic journal bearing system was investigated and a permanent magnet was used to make the selected shaft material magnetic.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a ferrofluid-based hydrodynamic journal bearing system considering different combination of shaft and bearing materials was investigated and wear analysis was carried out by microscopic observation of the bearing surfaces, weight loss and DLS of fluid.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance characteristics of a hydrodynamic long journal bearing taking recourse to a magnetic fluid lubricant were investigated with the usual assumptions of hydromagnetic concern and the equation for the fluid film pressure was solved with Sommerfeld boundary conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of series of different Pluronics with varying molecular weight and HLB was investigated by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer and by force transducer.
