HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH JOURNAL BEARING: A CASE STUDY

A journal bearing is designed for specific application. The bearing is designed according to the data available for the given bearing understudy. This analysis can usually be done with the advanced designed tool like FEA. This papers deal with the theoretical thermal analysis of a journal bearing by showing temperature distribution, heat generated and heat dissipated through the surfaces of the journal bearing. The tool used for FEM analysis on journal bearing is ANSYS.
