ON THE EFFECTS OF CONDEATION OF STEAM IN AN EXTERNALLY PRESSURIZED THRUST BEARING,

Abstract

The effect of condensation of steam in an externally pressurized steam lubricated bearing is shown to reduce the load carrying capacity and to cause the bearing to be unstable. The regions of stability are shown as well as the effects condensation has on other parameters investigated. Agreement with tests results, qualitatively, are shown thus supporting the collapse phenomenon seen in these tests. (Author)
