A Petroff’s sleeve bearing consists of a sleeve having a
bore diameter of 100.1 mm and a length of 100 mm. A
shaft having 100 mm diameter supports a load of 4000 N.
7 A shaft runs at 2880 r.p.m in the sleeve. If the frictional
torque on the shaft is 10 N-m, find i) The absolute
viscosity of lubrication ii) The bearing pressure iii) The
coefficient of friction and iv) The power lost in bearing.
The dimensions of a hydrostatic thrust bearing with a
rectangular oilgroove A, are shown in Fig-2. The
pressure distribution can be assumed to be linear, varying
8 from supply pressure at the inner edge of the groove to
atmospheric pressure at the outer edge of the pad. The
flow over the corners can be neglected. The thrust load is
100 kN and the film thickness is 0.02 mm. the viscosity
