In this article , a two-parameter method for estimating optimal bearing pad proportions was proposed to reduce the energy consumption of the bearing pad in low-speed conditions to achieve minimum energetic loss.Abstract:
Abstract This study investigates a new two-parameter method for estimating optimal hydrostatic bearing pad proportions. The design of a hydrostatic bearing pad is limited to simple geometry using analytical equations or one-parameter optimization based on experimental data. In this study, 3D static CFD model results were verified using analytical results and experimental data on a hydrostatic bearing testing device. The obtained CFD results for load and pressure show a deviation within 5.2% compared to the experimentally obtained results and the literature. Using the proposed novel two-parameter optimisation, the energetic loss was reduced by 30% compared to the classical one-parameter approach. This methodology allows versatile and effective design of optimal hydrostatic bearings operating in low-speed conditions to achieve minimum energetic loss. read more

Pressure dependence of viscosity.
TL;DR: It is shown that, at moderate values of pressure, viscosity increases, as a rule, with increasing pressure, provided the liquid is in stable or metastable (undercooled) equilibrium states, and even if the behavior of the viscosities is governed by free volume effects, deviations from a positive pressure dependence are possible.
