MAGNETIC FLUID-BASED SQUEEZE FILM BETWEEN CURVED POROUS ANNULAR PLATES CONSIDERING THE ROTATION OF MAGNETIC PARTICLES AND SLIP VELOCITY

Abstract

The ferrofluid flow model of the Shliomis and continuity equation for the film and porous interface with the theory of Darcy, the modified Reynolds equation for ferrofluid squeeze film between curved annular plates is discussed with the impact of the rotation of Ferro-particles and slip velocity at the boundary. Beavers and Joseph’s slip conditions are adopted to study the impact of slip velocity. The generalized non-dimensional pressure equation is derived and expression for dimensionless load-carrying capacity is obtained for the same. The graphical representation suggests that the bearing's performance enhances due to ferrofluid, considering the appropriate values of parameters for slip velocity and porosity.
