Effect of slip/no-slip on finite slider bearing using non-Newtonian micropolar fluid

Abstract

In this paper, the modified Reynolds equation of finite slider bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid is numerically solved for the computational aspects of the bearings. The finite difference scheme has been employed to solve the governing equations. The effect of micropolar parameter and slip parameter is investigated on slider bearing. For investigating the effect of slip boundary on the pressure distribution in sliding surface is numerically presented in the Reynolds model. The two-dimensional modified Reynolds equation can predict the performance of lubrication process with boundary slip in sliding contact which can be seen by the obtained results. The pressure and load capacity are displayed graphically. The pressure and load carrying capacity is lesser for slip case as compared to no slip case.
