Friction Coefficient: How to Determine for Journal Bearing

AI Thread Summary
To determine the friction coefficient for a journal bearing, Petroff's equation can be utilized if sufficient parameters are known. If the necessary data is unavailable, consulting the textbook "Fundamentals of Machine Component Design" by Juvinall may provide further insights. Understanding the specific characteristics of the bearing is crucial for accurate calculations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of having the right parameters to apply the appropriate formulas. This approach will aid in effectively determining the friction coefficient.

Err.. what do u already know about this bearing? If u know enough parameter I suppose you could use Petroff's equation to find the coefficient of friction?

If can't then I'm not too sure about it too, perhaps have a look at the textbook "Fundamentals of Machine Component Design" by Juvinall ?

Hope this helps

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
