Tilting pad journal bearings are used in turbomachinery such as turbo compressors, turbo gears, gas turbines, or steam turbines. There is an ongoing and growing customer demand for bearings with ...

With the higher rotational speeds and loads in bearings, the gaseous cavitation becomes more and cannot be ignorable in the bearing designs. However, there is no enough research in non-equilibrium ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...
