Long Bearing, Magnetic Fluid, Viscosity Variation.Abstract
This paper deals with a theoretical analysis on the effect of viscosity variation on a ferrofluid based long bearing. The model of Tipei considering viscosity variation is deployed here. The magnetic fluid flow is governed by Neuringer-Rosensweig model. The pressure distribution is obtained after solving the associated Reynolds type equation, which gives the load carrying capacity. The computed results indicate that the increased load carrying capacity owing to magnetization gets negligible help from the effect of viscosity variation.
