THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR TEMPERATURE CHANGE OF A JOURNAL BEARING
ABSTRACT
In this work, a representative mathematical model has been developed, which reliably describes the heating and cooling of a journal bearing as a result of its malfunctioning, and the model has been further confirmed on a test bench. The bearing model was validated by using analytical modeling methods, i.e. the experimental results were compared to the data obtained by analytical calculations. The regression and variance analysis techniques were applied to process the recorded data, to test the mathematical model and to define mathematical functions for the heating/cooling of the journal bearing. This investigation shows that a representative model may reliably indicate the change in the thermal field, which may be a consequence of journal bearing damage.
