BEARING ANALYSIS FOR THE SPUR TURBOGENERATOR.
Abstract
The results of the analysis of journal bearing configuration for the SPUR turbogenerator are presented in this report. For this analysis, a computer program was used that solves the basic hydrodynamic equations, including consideration of fluid inertia forces in both the turbulent and laminar regimes. Solutions were obtained for a number of bearing configurations, using this program, with potassium as the lubricant. The computer run with laminar analysis agreed with existing solutions, thereby providing a check of the computer program. Several journal bearing mounting arrangements were considered, and a design was selected for initial testing. (Author)
