Abstract: The present paper reports an experimental and theoretical investigation on performance behaviour of twin-groove elliptical (two-lobe) white metal hydrodynamic journal bearing used in steam turbines. The experiments are performed on a fully automatic journal bearing test rig with provisions to various operating conditions (i.e. load, speed, and lubricant temperature). The performance behaviour in terms of coefficient of friction, lubricant inlet temperature, load carrying capacity, journal displacement, weight loss etc. has been presented. In addition to this, numerical investigations have also been performed with the numerical solution of governing Reynolds equation using FEM (finite element method) technique and Jakobsson-Floberg-Olsson (JFO) boundary condition. The experimentally obtained and theoretical results have been correlated. © IMechE 2020.
