Chapter 12 Problem 12.16

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

Step 1 of 3)

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.
