Abstract: | The present paper proposes a quantitative calculation of thrust bearings, focusing on the numerical solution of equation energy in the thermal field and on the analytic solution [1], in hydrodynamic one. For that, the slider bearing pad has been replaced with the partial bush of a journal bearing. Subsequently, the differential equation of pressures is presented, and its verification in several concrete cases provided by the literature in the field. The validation consists in comparing the pad's hydrodynamic parameters, calculated by means of numerical methods, with those of the proposed journal bearing, calculated analytically |
