Abstract
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to deal with the qualitative analysis of hydrodynamic lubrication of asymmetric rollers with non-Newtonian incompressible power law lubricants including Newtonian.
Design/methodology/approach
– The fluid flow governing equations such as equation of motion along with continuity and thermal equations are solved first analytically and investigated numerically by the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method.
Findings
– As a result of this work, it is found that there is a significant change in temperature, pressure, load and traction with Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
Research limitations/implications
– The authors considered incompressible hydrodynamic lubrication of two rigid asymmetric rollers, one of them is assumed to be adiabatic. The convection term of the heat flow equation is taken in its average form.
Originality/value
– It is a theoretical problem of two heavily loaded rigid cylindrical rollers with cavitations, where the consistency of the power law lubricant is assumed to vary with pressure and the mean film temperature. It has not appeared in the literature.
