In this paper, four possible design variants of the Revolving Vane expander have been
examined in relation to their application when using CO2 as the working fluid in a …

In modern marine diesel engines, power output and in-cylinder firing pressures are
constantly increasing, leading to higher friction in engine components and especially in the …

In this work, a novel method to evaluate the nonlinear bearing forces is introduced. The
method depends on using polynomial surface fitting to evaluate the bearing forces as a …

The understanding of the behavior of hydrodynamic bearings requires the analysis of the
fluid film between two solid surfaces in relative motion. The differential equation that governs …

The paper presents linearized coefficients for finite-length journal bearings based on the HD
forces with multiplicative correction polynomials applied to the infinitely short and the …

This paper presents a new rotary type compressor, named 'Revolving Vane (RV)
compressor', in which frictional losses are effectively reduced through the radical use of a …

Modeling the nonlinear dynamics of rotors supported by finite length journal bearings is of
great importance in various engineering applications. In this study, four-dimensional …

The model of a rod fastening rotor-finite length journal bearing system is established in this
paper. The contact surfaces between the disks and rods are modeled as bending resistance …

The trend towards high power output, high speed and low power loss in engines requires a
better understanding of bearing behaviour. Research in this area is directed more towards …

The high shearing stresses encountered in the modern engine bearing lubricant film lead to
significant drop in viscosity of multigrade oils and affect the values of film thickness, power …
