Low Viscosity Bearing Stability Investigation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Abstract

Bearing stability is one of the basic problems associated with high speed turbomachinery. It has become of even greater importance in space power systems presently under development by the requirement for long term unattended operation under zero g conditions of space flight, and low viscosity lubricants such as potassium at l2OO degrees F.
