the bearing will have to with stand a 5000 N radial

load and a 3000 N Thrust load . the life of bearing
expected to be at least 1000 hours.
8.a Design a journal bearing for a centrifugal pump with
the following data:
Diameter of journal bearing =150mm 13 CO4 K5
Load on bearing =40 KN
Speed of journal =900rpm.
OR
8.b Following data are given for a 3600 hydro dynamic
bearing :
Journal diameter =100mm , radial clearance
=0.12mm , radial load =50KN,
13 CO4 K5
Bearing length =100mm , journal speed =1440
rpm and viscosity of lubricant =16 CP.
Calculate : a) minimum film thickness , b)
coefficient of friction and c) power lost in friction
9.a Design a journal bearing for centrifugal pump
running at 1440 rpm. Diameter of the journal is 10
cm and the load on each bearing is 2000 kg. The
factor (Zn)/p may be taken as 2800. For centrifugal
13 CO4 K5
pump bearings: Assume atm temperature =300 C,
operating temperature =750C , Energy dissipation
coefficient = 0.00125, C/R ratio =0.001,L/D ratio
=1.5
OR
9.b A journal bearing of 100 mm diameter and 150 mm
long supports a load of 6 kN the shaft rotates at 560
rpm. The diametral clearance is 0.15 mm the room
temperature is 25°C and the operating temperature 13 CO4 K5
is 70°C the bearing is well ventilated and so no
artificial cooling is required. Suggest a suitable oil to
meet the requirements.
PART C — (1× 13) = 13 Marks
10 Design a journal bearing for a machine with the
following data:
Diameter of journal bearing =250mm 13 CO4 K5
Load on bearing =50 KN
Speed of journal =1000rpm
