RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS TO BE CARRIED OUT:
- To study the michell tilting pad bearing.
- To plot the pressure variation curve in longitudinal and transverse direction of pad at various speeds and pad inclination.
- To study the cavitation phenomenon.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION :
It consists of a M.S. bearing mounted freely on steel shaft . This shaft is fixed directly on to a motor shaft. The speed of the D.C. Motor is finally controlled by a D.C. Dimmer stat. The bearing has equal spaced pressure tapings around its circumference & on the top side of the bearing. The two sides of bearing are closed with two M.S. Plates & sealed with a gasket packing to avoid leakage. Oil film pressures are indicated in a manometer board reading directly in head of oil. Clear flexible plastic tubes are clamped on the manometer board are connected to the tappings spaced around bearing, & thus permit the bearing to turn freely. The oil reservoir can be adjusted at required height & connected to the bearing by flexible plastic tube. From this reservoir oil enters the bearing through this plastic tube
