All Questions carry equal marks :
1. (a) Can hybrid hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings be developed and used to advantage? (b) Give examples of operating conditions under which the application of hydrostatic bearings would be necessary or highly desirable. [8+8]

2. Suggest steps for prevention of wear in bearings. [16]
3. What range of viscosity covers most oils? Discuss their relative merits and applications. [16]

4. For the infinitely long Rayleigh step bearing find the relationship between the total load supported W, minimum film thickness h0 and step height h. Assume that B1=B2=B/2. [16]

5. Describe typical geometries of non-flat hydrostatic bearings. [16]
6. Give the criterion for selection of bearing materials. [16]

7. Explain general dry friction theories in brief. [16]
8. Derive an expression for load carrying capacity of hydrodynamic journal bearing stating the assumptions. [16]

Code No: 07A80304
R07 Set No. 4
1. (a) Give your comments on simplifying assumptions in hydrodynamics.
(b) What are the advantages and disadvantages of hydrodynamic journal bear- ings? [8+8]

2. With the help of a neat sketch explain the construction and working of falling sphere viscometer. [16]

4. Classify various bearing materials. Discuss their relative features. [16]
5. Derive an equation for the final film thickness in a parallel surface bearing. [16]

6. A 150mm diameter shaft carrying a load of 10kN and rotating at 1000rpm is supported by a 40mm long journal bearing. The bearing is lubricated with SAE 20W/50 of density 900kg/m3 and specific heat=1650J/kgK.

Assume that the bearing clearance is 100 m and the inlet oil temperature is 500C. Using the constant flow method calculate the operating temperature of the bearing. Discuss the results obtained. [16]

8. A rectangular slider bearing with pivoted shoe has the following specification:
Length of shoe=60mm
Width of shoe=55mm
Slider speed=5m/s
Load=25kN
Absolute viscosity =0.012Pa s.
Determine:
(a) Minimum film thickness and
(b) Power loss due to viscous friction. Neglect side leakage. [16]

IV B.Tech II Semester Examinations, :
Tribology :
1. Lateral stability of a long shaft 15cm in diameter is obtained by means of a 25cm stationary bearing having an internal diameter of 15.025cm. If the space between the bearing and the shaft is lled with a lubricant having a viscosity 49Nsec/m2, what power will be required to overcome the viscous resistance when the shaft is rotated at a constant rate of 180rpm? [16]

2. (a) What are the applications of hydrostatic bearings?
(b) Compare advantages and disadvantages of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearing. [8+8]

3. (a) What is the main dierence between hydrodynamic and hydrostatic lubrication?
(b) Are hydrostatic bearings eective at high sliding speeds? Discuss. [8+8]
4. What other parameters, apart from viscosity, are signicant when dealing with lubricants? Explain their role on the eectiveness of the lubricant. [16]

5. (a) What is the advantage of the oset pivot compared to centrally pivoted pads?
(b) The centrally pivoted pad is suitable for load carrying in both directions of rotation, while the o-center pad is unsuitable. The centrally pivoted pad is, however, inferior to the o-center pad in one important aspect. Discuss.[8+8]

6. (a) What are the classic laws of friction?
(b) Explain elastic contact in metals. [8+8]
7. What are the characteristics of castable bearing materials? [16]
