Analysis of a porous inclined slider bearing lubricated with a magnetic fluid considering slip velocity

Abstract

A theoretical model of a magnetic-fluid-based porous inclined slider bearing has been considered to study the slip velocity effect on the load capacity of the bearing. The expression for load capacity has been obtained in terms of the slip parameter and the permeability parameter. The dependence of load on the magnetic parameter, the permeability parameter, and the slip parameter has been studied graphically. Minimization of the slip parameter and the permeability parameter have been discussed for the possible increase in load capacity.
