A full journal bearing has a journal diameter of 25 mm, with a unilateral tolerance of 20.03 mm. The bushing bore has a diameter of 25.03 mm and a unilateral tolerance of 0.04 mm. The lyd ratio is 1y2. The load is 1.2 kN and the journal runs at 1100 rev/min. If the average viscosity is 55 mPa ? s, find the minimum film thickness, the power loss, and the side flow for the minimum clearance assembly.

Question
An eight-cylinder diesel engine has a front main bearing with a journal diameter of 3.500 in and a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. The bushing bore diameter is 3.505 in with a unilateral tolerance of 10.005 in. The bushing length is 2 in. The pressure-fed bearing has a central annular groove 0.250 in wide. The SAE 30 oil comes from a sump at 120F using a supply pressure of 50 psig. The sumps heat-dissipation capacity is 5000 Btu/h per bearing. For a minimum radial clearance, a speed of 2000 rev/min, and a radial load of 4600 lbf, find the average film temperature and apply Trumplers criteria in your design assessment.
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number 16 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An eight-cylinder diesel engine has a front main bearing with a journal diameter of 3.500 in and a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. The bushing bore diameter is 3.505 in with a unilateral tolerance of 10.005 in. The bushing length is 2 in. The pressure-fed bearing has a central annular groove 0.250 in wide. The SAE 30 oil comes from a sump at 120F using a supply pressure of 50 psig. The sumps heat-dissipation capacity is 5000 Btu/h per bearing. For a minimum radial clearance, a speed of 2000 rev/min, and a radial load of 4600 lbf, find the average film temperature and apply Trumplers criteria in your design assessment.
From the textbook chapter Lubrication and Journal Bearings you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
