Coaxial cylinders method Consider laminar flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two vertical coaxial cylinders The outer one is rotating with an angular velocity W r It is assumed that Inner cylinder R1 •There are no end effects •No-slip condition prevails in the cylinder-fluid contact If tr is the shear stress on a liquid layer at a distance r from the axis of rotation, then the torque T on the liquid shell by the outer layer of the liquid is T = (2prl).tr.r where l is the length of the inner cylinder l R2 Outer cylinder Shear stress at radius r Therefore the shear stress at radius r is T tr 2pr 2 l From Newton’s law of viscous flow the shear stress at radius r is u w tr h hr. y r Where w is the angular velocity, h is the dynamic coefficient of viscosity. The distance of separation y = r and the change in velocity du = rdw Constant of integration • Now • Therefore T w 2pr 3lh . r T w C 2 2plh.2r • Where C is a constant of integration • At r = R1, w = 0, at r = R2, w = W • Therefore T C 2 4plhR1 Expression for coefficient of viscosity Substituting we get: 4plhR1 R 2 W T 2 2 R 2 R1 2 T( R 2 R 1 ) h ...(20) 2 2 4plR 1 R 2 W 2 Or 2 2 Knowing values of the other terms, the coefficient of viscosity h can be calculated Solid sphere method • When a solid body is allowed to fall from rest in a homogenous fluid of infinite extent, it will initially accelerate till the gravitational force is balanced by buoyant and viscous forces. • Consider a sphere of radius r, moving in a fluid with viscosity h and attaining a uniform velocity V, the viscous resistance is given by Stoke’s law as 6prhV • If the densities of the material of the solid sphere and the liquid are rs and rl respectively, then the gravity and buoyant forces are respectively 4 3 pr rs g 3 and 4 3 pr r l g 3 Solid sphere in liquid- expression for viscosity Therefore balancing forces we get: Weight of sphere Sphere 4 3 4 3 pr rs g pr rl g 6phrV 3 3 Or 2gr 2 (rs rl ) h ...(21) 3V Force of buoyancy Lubricant Therefore the viscosity can be determined if we know values for the other terms Journal bearing- process at startup Shaft/journal e = eccentricity Bearing Stationary journal Instant of starting (tends to While running (slips due to loss climb up the bearing) of traction and settles eccentric to bearing) Because of the eccentricity, the wedge is maintained (lack of concentricity) Journal bearing- geometry Bearing: center O and radius R1 Bearing Shaft: center C and radius R2 OC is the eccentricity measured as e Shaft G All angular distances are measured from the position of maximum film thickness (where the extension of line CO cuts the bearing surface at G) O Consider a point B on the bearing surface such that the angle GOB = q OB is the radius R1 of the bearing.
