Abstract
A journal bearing is designed for specific application. The bearing is designed according to the data available for the given
bearing understudy. This analysis can usually be done with the advanced designed tool like FEA. This papers deal with the
theoretical thermal analysis of a journal bearing by showing temperature distribution, heat generated and heat dissipated through
the surfaces of the journal bearing. The tool used for FEM analysis on journal bearing is ANSYS.
Keywords: Journal bearing, Temperature distribution, Heat generation, FEA analysis.

1. INTRODUCTION
A journal bearing is a machine element which supports
another moving machine element known as journal. One of
the basic purposes of a bearing is to provide a frictionless
environment to support and guide a rotating shaft. A good
bearing material should be heat resistant, corrosion resistant.
It should have good conformability, embedability. It should
have high compressive strength to withstand high pressure.
It should have proper endurance strength to avoid failure
due to pitting. A Properly installed and maintained, journal
bearing should have infinite life. It permits a relative motion
between the contact surfaces of the members, while carrying
the load with little loss of power due to friction. In order to
reduce the frictional resistance and wear, and to carry away
the heat generated, a layer of fluid which is known as
lubricant has to provide to the bearing. The lubricant can be
a gas, fluid, grease or solid of mineral oil, vegetable oil etc.
Industrial machinery with a large horse power having high
loads and speeds such as steam turbines, centrifugal pumps,
compressors and motors, utilize journal bearing as rotor
support. A bearing may fail in the improper load conditions,
insufficient lubrication, contamination of lubricant,
improper selection of bearing material; dust conditions,
improper alignment etc.
It has been observed that the major breakdown occurs in the
journal bearing of the turbine alternator of M/S Kaithal Co-
Operative Sugar Mills Ltd, Kaithal. In the power house of
the Kaithal Co-Operative Sugar Mills Ltd, Kaithal, there
was regular failure of power due to the reoccurrence failure
of journal bearing of the multistage power turbine generator.
The multistage steam turbine of 2500 kW is connected with
reduction gear box 8325/1500 rpm. This reduction gear box
is connected with generator by six bolt universal coupling.
The opposite side of the rotor shaft of generator is supported
by the journal bearing understudy (Fig 2). The journal
bearing of the supporting side of the generator wears out
frequently. The bearing of the supporting end of the
generator is single oil lubricated, six tilting pad type
pedestal journal bearing. This bearing is self contained
having its design for taking its radial load and unbalanced
magnetic pull of machine. The unit is electrically insulated
from the ground to avoid excessive bearing current to flow
through low resistance bearing pads and thus preventing
pads from damage.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Literature review reveals that there are many causes of the
bearing failures. The bearings are shown to fail due to
unbalanced rotating forces, stress concentration in grooves
provided for the passage of lubrication oil, thermal stresses
caused due to differential coefficient of thermal expansions,
insufficient oil supply to the interface, rapid wear rate due to
the presence of mineral extraneous matter (MEM),
propagation of internal cracks present due to the hot
working of bearing steel, external loads, loads due to
misalignment, seizure due to induced thermal stresses,
excessive loads, temperature, speeds and the frequent
start/stop operations etc. The numerous detection and
analysis techniques employed for research work include
ferrography, spectrometric oil analysis procedure (SOAP),
accelerated life tests (ACT), optical microscopy and
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), motor current
signature analysis, neural networks and virtual sensors,
finite element method (FEM) etc. Thus the literature review
has provided an insight into possible reasons of bearing
failure, various instruments/techniques for the detection of
bearing failures and numerous analytical/computer tools
which can be used for the study and analysis of the different
types of bearings. Bonnett et al (1992) concluded that in
recent years bearing failure have accounted for an increased
percentage of motor failures. This is due in part to improved
stator and rotor construction, which may result in the
bearing to be the "weak link, Brown et al (1994) concluded
that the behavior of non-linear systems often yields
unexpected phenomena which are extremely sensitive to
initial conditions. The hydrodynamic journal bearing is a
common machine element which is strongly nonlinear for
large excursions within the clearance space. Hodowanec
(1996) observed that the 70% to 80% of motor field

problems are mechanical in nature. A significant proportion
of these mechanical problems which arise when external
loads are exerted on bearings not designed to accommodate
any extraneous loading. Din et al (1999) found that the study
of friction and wear in a two grooved journal bearing at
different shaft speeds, oil temperature and contamination
levels. Awasthi et al (2007) concluded that a bearing
subjected to frequent start/stop operations are worn
progressively due to the rubbing. As a consequence, the
geometry of the bearing changes and the performance is
affected. Akagaki et al (1992) studied the failure process of
a full-scale journal bearing, caused by insufficient oil supply
to the interface, was monitored and analyzed with
ferrography and the spectrometric oil analysis procedure
(SOAP). Hazlett et al (1992) analyzed the details of a finite
element model for the study of thermally induced stresses in
journal bearing is presented. Rivas et al (2006) observed that
the high wear rate on top roll shaft journals is an important
problem for the Colombian sugar cane mill and it has shown
a marked influence in the shaft reliability.
3. METHODOLOGY
There are some key areas which needed be considered and
related to one another in order to analyze the journal
bearing. The steps involved in the methodology are as
Fig1: Methodology
The adopted methodology will explain the thermal behavior
of the bearing. In this methodology there will be a try to
discuss the temperature distribution, heat generation and
heat dissipation from the bearing understudy.
3.1 Data Collection
For thermal analysis of journal bearing it is compulsory to
collect the data for the bearing understudy.

3.2 Bearing Design Calculations
For the thermal analysis of the journal bearing some
important design calculations are needed. Some of the
important design calculations are as speed of shafts, bearing
clearance, ratio of bearing diameter to the bearing clearance,
bearing pressure, bearing characteristics and bearing
modulus, coefficient of friction, load on the bearing, heat
generated, heat dissipated and the difference between heat
generated and heat dissipated. These bearing design
calculations are tabulated as below:

3.3 Dimensional Sketch of Journal Bearing
For the thermal analysis of the journal bearing it is
compulsory to draw the dimensional sketch of the journal
bearing. The two dimensional sketch of the journal bearing
is drawn in Auto-Cad.
Fig 3: Dimensional Sketch
3.4 Geometrical Modeling
For the thermal analysis of the journal bearing the
geometrical modeling of the bearing was prepared in Pro
Engineer wild fire 2.0 software with the help of dimensional
sketch prepared in Auto CAD. Fig 4 shows the bearing
casing, bearing and the journal in the assembled condition.
Fig 4: Geometrical model
3.5 Thermal Analysis
After preparing the dimensional sketch and geometric model
of bearing, the model is imported from proE to ANSYS. The
model is meshed for the thermal analysis of the journal
bearing and Tetra 10 node 187, element is used.
3.5.1 Meshing of Journal Bearing
Before meshing the model and even before building the
model, it is important to think about whether a free mesh or
a mapped mesh is appropriate for the analysis. A free mesh
has no restrictions in terms of element shapes and has no
specified pattern applied to it.
Fig 5: Meshing
A mapped mesh is restricted in terms of the element shape it
contains and the pattern of the mesh. A mapped area mesh
contains either only quadrilateral or only triangular
elements, while a mapped volume mesh contains only

hexahedron elements. In addition, a mapped mesh typically
has a regular pattern, with obvious rows of elements. A
mesh must be building the geometry as a series of fairly
regular volumes and/or areas that can accept a mapped
mesh.
3.5.2 Convectional Area in a Journal Bearing
Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such
as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away
from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.
Fig 6: Convectional area of journal bearing
Convections are surface loads applied on exterior surfaces
of the model to account for heat lost to (or gained from) a
surrounding fluid medium. They are available only for
solids and shells.
3.5.3 Temperature Distribution in Journal Bearing:
The temperature distribution across the element boundaries
for the selected nodes and elements of the mesh is depicted
with the help of color contour as shown in Fig 7.
Fig 7: Temperature Distribution
Blue color shows the minimum value and the red color
shows maximum value of the bearing temperature. Different
color lies between blue and red color shows the intermediate
values of the temperatures between maximum and minimum
temperatures. In this case, maximum value of temperature
is 90.96 0
C and the minimum value of the temperature is
79.76 0
C.
3.5.4 Heat Generation in Journal Bearing:
Heat generation has critical influence on bearing material.
To some extent, it can increase bearing pads wear and then
reduce bearing life, give rise to thermal deformation.
Fig 8: Heat generation
But due to the complexity of mechanism of journal bearing,
it is hard to predict the intensity and distribution of the heat
sources in an individual bearing.
It is assumed that the complete heat is generated in the in
bearing which is made of Babbitt material. The maximum
heat generated is 14328 Watts. The maximum heat
generated and the minimum heat generated shown by the
software is 14328 Watts and 127 Watts in the bearing, as
shown in Fig 8. This heat generated has the tendency to flow
out from the bearing through the material of the bearing.
The direction of flow of heat generation is shown by the
vectors.
3.5.5 Heat Dissipation in Journal Bearing:
It is assumed that the heat is dissipated from the upper half
of the bearing case. The heat will be dissipated by
convection from this portion. Bearing design calculation
shows that the heat dissipated is 1921.92 Watts. The result
obtained from the color contour of heat dissipation shows
that the minimum value of heat dissipated value is 195.72
Watts and the maximum value of heat dissipated is 1932
Watts. The color contour of heat dissipated is shown in Fig
9.

Fig 9: Heat dissipation
The red color vectors shown in Fig 9 indicate that the heat
dissipation is maximum at these points. The cooling water
entering to the bearing case takes some times to lift up at
the inlet end of bearing case i.e. the heat dissipation is
maximum at these points. Similarly, cooling water takes
some time for ejecting at the outlet end of the bearing. The
red color vectors are also present in this region. Hence the
red heat dissipation maximum at outlet ends of the casing.
There are only few vectors showing the heat dissipation of
1932 Watts.
Most of the vectors of heat dissipation are shown by yellow
color. Yellow color shows the range of heat dissipation from
1341 Watts to 1505 Watts i.e. heat is dissipated from the
surface of the bearing case at the rate of 1341 Watts to 1505
Watts. The heat dissipation showed the heat radially going
outward. If there is a thermal equilibrium between heat
generated and heat radiated, from the surface of the bearing,
it will safe for the bearing.
4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
On the basis of thermal analysis of journal bearing following
results come in to the picture
4.1 Temperature Distribution
Fig 7 shows that the minimum temperature of the bearing is
equal to 79.76 °C and the maximum value of the bearing
temperature is equal to 90.99 °C. The intermediate values of
the temperature on the surface of the bearing are 79.758,
81.005, 82.253, 83.5, 84.748, 85.996, 87.243, 88.491,
89.738 and 90.986 °C from blue to red color according to
color contour.
4.2 Heat Generation in Bearing
Heat generated in the bearing was 14328 Watts. This heat
was generated in the oil film. The oil is circulated between
the bearing and the circular shaft of rotor which is called as
journal. There acts a frictional force between the journal and
the layer of the fluid. If the layer of the lubricating oil is
sufficiently thick there is less heat generated, where there is
a very thin film of the lubricating oil between the shaft and
the lubricating oil, there are the chances of metal to metal
contact and hence the maximum heat is generated in the oil
film in that place. The maximum value of heat generation
was 14328 Watts.
4.3 Heat Dissipation from Bearing
Fig 9 shows the heat dissipation from the upper half surface
of the bearing. The minimum value of the heat dissipation is
195.72 Watts. The maximum value of the heat dissipation is
1932 Watts. The calculated value of the heat dissipation is
1921.92 Watts which is nearly equal to 1932 Watts. The
other values of heat dissipation 360.36, 525, 687, 850.9,
1015, 1341, 1505 Watts lies between these values.
5. CONCLUSIONS
From the thermal analysis done above, the conclusions are
drawn are as follows:
1. The calculated amount of the heat generated in the
oil film of the bearing was 14328 Watts and the
heat dissipated was 1921.92 Watts. The difference
between heat generated in oil film and the heat
dissipated from the surface of the bearing was
12406 Watts which is of was very large amount.
Due to this heat, the bearing is warming up and the
bearing pads are getting damaged.
2. The maximum and minimum temperature of the
bearing were 90.98 C& 79.8 C respectively.

Sharma2 , Sumit Sharma3 1 Asso. Prof. Department of Mechanical Engineering, VIT Jaipur, Rajasthan, India 2 Professor. Department of Mechanical Engineering, BRCMCET, Bhiwani, Haryana, India 3 Asst. Prof. Department of Mechanical Engineering, VIT Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Abstract A journal bearing is designed for specific application. The bearing is designed according to the data available for the given bearing understudy. This analysis can usually be done with the advanced designed tool like FEA. This papers deal with the theoretical thermal analysis of a journal bearing by showing temperature distribution, heat generated and heat dissipated through the surfaces of the journal bearing. The tool used for FEM analysis on journal bearing is ANSYS. Keywords: Journal bearing, Temperature distribution, Heat generation, FEA analysis. --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION A journal bearing is a machine element which supports another moving machine element known as journal. One of the basic purposes of a bearing is to provide a frictionless environment to support and guide a rotating shaft. A good bearing material should be heat resistant, corrosion resistant. It should have good conformability, embedability. It should have high compressive strength to withstand high pressure. It should have proper endurance strength to avoid failure due to pitting. A Properly installed and maintained, journal bearing should have infinite life. It permits a relative motion between the contact surfaces of the members, while carrying the load with little loss of power due to friction. In order to reduce the frictional resistance and wear, and to carry away the heat generated, a layer of fluid which is known as lubricant has to provide to the bearing. The lubricant can be a gas, fluid, grease or solid of mineral oil, vegetable oil etc. Industrial machinery with a large horse power having high loads and speeds such as steam turbines, centrifugal pumps, compressors and motors, utilize journal bearing as rotor support. A bearing may fail in the improper load conditions, insufficient lubrication, contamination of lubricant, improper selection of bearing material; dust conditions, improper alignment etc. It has been observed that the major breakdown occurs in the journal bearing of the turbine alternator of M/S Kaithal Co- Operative Sugar Mills Ltd, Kaithal. In the power house of the Kaithal Co-Operative Sugar Mills Ltd, Kaithal, there was regular failure of power due to the reoccurrence failure of journal bearing of the multistage power turbine generator. The multistage steam turbine of 2500 kW is connected with reduction gear box 8325/1500 rpm. This reduction gear box is connected with generator by six bolt universal coupling. The opposite side of the rotor shaft of generator is supported by the journal bearing understudy (Fig 2). The journal bearing of the supporting side of the generator wears out frequently. The bearing of the supporting end of the generator is single oil lubricated, six tilting pad type pedestal journal bearing. This bearing is self contained having its design for taking its radial load and unbalanced magnetic pull of machine. The unit is electrically insulated from the ground to avoid excessive bearing current to flow through low resistance bearing pads and thus preventing pads from damage. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW Literature review reveals that there are many causes of the bearing failures. The bearings are shown to fail due to unbalanced rotating forces, stress concentration in grooves provided for the passage of lubrication oil, thermal stresses caused due to differential coefficient of thermal expansions, insufficient oil supply to the interface, rapid wear rate due to the presence of mineral extraneous matter (MEM), propagation of internal cracks present due to the hot working of bearing steel, external loads, loads due to misalignment, seizure due to induced thermal stresses, excessive loads, temperature, speeds and the frequent start/stop operations etc. The numerous detection and analysis techniques employed for research work include ferrography, spectrometric oil analysis procedure (SOAP), accelerated life tests (ACT), optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), motor current signature analysis, neural networks and virtual sensors, finite element method (FEM) etc. Thus the literature review has provided an insight into possible reasons of bearing failure, various instruments/techniques for the detection of bearing failures and numerous analytical/computer tools which can be used for the study and analysis of the different types of bearings. Bonnett et al (1992) concluded that in recent years bearing failure have accounted for an increased percentage of motor failures. This is due in part to improved stator and rotor construction, which may result in the bearing to be the "weak link, Brown et al (1994) concluded that the behavior of non-linear systems often yields unexpected phenomena which are extremely sensitive to initial conditions. The hydrodynamic journal bearing is a common machine element which is strongly nonlinear for large excursions within the clearance space. Hodowanec (1996) observed that the 70% to 80% of motor field

A significant proportion of these mechanical problems which arise when external loads are exerted on bearings not designed to accommodate any extraneous loading. Din et al (1999) found that the study of friction and wear in a two grooved journal bearing at different shaft speeds, oil temperature and contamination levels. Awasthi et al (2007) concluded that a bearing subjected to frequent start/stop operations are worn progressively due to the rubbing. As a consequence, the geometry of the bearing changes and the performance is affected. Akagaki et al (1992) studied the failure process of a full-scale journal bearing, caused by insufficient oil supply to the interface, was monitored and analyzed with ferrography and the spectrometric oil analysis procedure (SOAP). Hazlett et al (1992) analyzed the details of a finite element model for the study of thermally induced stresses in journal bearing is presented. Rivas et al (2006) observed that the high wear rate on top roll shaft journals is an important problem for the Colombian sugar cane mill and it has shown a marked influence in the shaft reliability. 3. METHODOLOGY There are some key areas which needed be considered and related to one another in order to analyze the journal bearing. The steps involved in the methodology are as Fig1: Methodology The adopted methodology will explain the thermal behavior of the bearing. In this methodology there will be a try to discuss the temperature distribution, heat generation and heat dissipation from the bearing understudy. 3.1 Data Collection For thermal analysis of journal bearing it is compulsory to collect the data for the bearing understudy. Fig 2: Location of bearing The data is collected from the operating manual of the company. The unit in the company is shown in fig 2 The data obtained from the company is given below in Table 1. Table -1: Technical specification of Journal Bearing S. No. Bearing Details Values 1 Revolution of journal 1500 rpm 2 Applied load in KN 2 to 10 3 Supply pressure 140 KPa 4 Supply temperature 50 0 C 5 Bearing inner diameter 200 mm 6 Bearing outer diameter 225 mm 7 Bearing length 240mm 8 Groove length 70 mm 9 Ambient temperature 30o C 10 Material of bearing case Alloy steel 11 Material of journal Stainless steel 12 Material of bearing Babbited material 14 Lubricant used SAE 30. 3.2 Bearing Design Calculations For the thermal analysis of the journal bearing some important design calculations are needed. Some of the important design calculations are as speed of shafts, bearing clearance, ratio of bearing diameter to the bearing clearance, bearing pressure, bearing characteristics and bearing modulus, coefficient of friction, load on the bearing, heat generated, heat dissipated and the difference between heat generated and heat dissipated. These bearing design calculations are tabulated as below:

The two dimensional sketch of the journal bearing is drawn in Auto-Cad. Fig 3: Dimensional Sketch 3.4 Geometrical Modeling For the thermal analysis of the journal bearing the geometrical modeling of the bearing was prepared in Pro Engineer wild fire 2.0 software with the help of dimensional sketch prepared in Auto CAD. Fig 4 shows the bearing casing, bearing and the journal in the assembled condition. Fig 4: Geometrical model 3.5 Thermal Analysis After preparing the dimensional sketch and geometric model of bearing, the model is imported from proE to ANSYS. The model is meshed for the thermal analysis of the journal bearing and Tetra 10 node 187, element is used. 3.5.1 Meshing of Journal Bearing Before meshing the model and even before building the model, it is important to think about whether a free mesh or a mapped mesh is appropriate for the analysis. A free mesh has no restrictions in terms of element shapes and has no specified pattern applied to it. Fig 5: Meshing A mapped mesh is restricted in terms of the element shape it contains and the pattern of the mesh. A mapped area mesh contains either only quadrilateral or only triangular elements, while a mapped volume mesh contains only

IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Issue: 10 | Oct-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 219 hexahedron elements. In addition, a mapped mesh typically has a regular pattern, with obvious rows of elements. A mesh must be building the geometry as a series of fairly regular volumes and/or areas that can accept a mapped mesh. 3.5.2 Convectional Area in a Journal Bearing Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it. Fig 6: Convectional area of journal bearing Convections are surface loads applied on exterior surfaces of the model to account for heat lost to (or gained from) a surrounding fluid medium. They are available only for solids and shells. 3.5.3 Temperature Distribution in Journal Bearing: The temperature distribution across the element boundaries for the selected nodes and elements of the mesh is depicted with the help of color contour as shown in Fig 7. Fig 7: Temperature Distribution Blue color shows the minimum value and the red color shows maximum value of the bearing temperature. Different color lies between blue and red color shows the intermediate values of the temperatures between maximum and minimum temperatures. In this case, maximum value of temperature is 90.96 0 C and the minimum value of the temperature is 79.76 0 C. 3.5.4 Heat Generation in Journal Bearing: Heat generation has critical influence on bearing material. To some extent, it can increase bearing pads wear and then reduce bearing life, give rise to thermal deformation. Fig 8: Heat generation But due to the complexity of mechanism of journal bearing, it is hard to predict the intensity and distribution of the heat sources in an individual bearing. It is assumed that the complete heat is generated in the in bearing which is made of Babbitt material. The maximum heat generated is 14328 Watts. The maximum heat generated and the minimum heat generated shown by the software is 14328 Watts and 127 Watts in the bearing, as shown in Fig 8. This heat generated has the tendency to flow out from the bearing through the material of the bearing. The direction of flow of heat generation is shown by the vectors. 3.5.5 Heat Dissipation in Journal Bearing: It is assumed that the heat is dissipated from the upper half of the bearing case. The heat will be dissipated by convection from this portion. Bearing design calculation shows that the heat dissipated is 1921.92 Watts. The result obtained from the color contour of heat dissipation shows that the minimum value of heat dissipated value is 195.72 Watts and the maximum value of heat dissipated is 1932 Watts. The color contour of heat dissipated is shown in Fig 9.

IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Issue: 10 | Oct-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 220 Fig 9: Heat dissipation The red color vectors shown in Fig 9 indicate that the heat dissipation is maximum at these points. The cooling water entering to the bearing case takes some times to lift up at the inlet end of bearing case i.e. the heat dissipation is maximum at these points. Similarly, cooling water takes some time for ejecting at the outlet end of the bearing. The red color vectors are also present in this region. Hence the red heat dissipation maximum at outlet ends of the casing. There are only few vectors showing the heat dissipation of 1932 Watts. Most of the vectors of heat dissipation are shown by yellow color. Yellow color shows the range of heat dissipation from 1341 Watts to 1505 Watts i.e. heat is dissipated from the surface of the bearing case at the rate of 1341 Watts to 1505 Watts. The heat dissipation showed the heat radially going outward. If there is a thermal equilibrium between heat generated and heat radiated, from the surface of the bearing, it will safe for the bearing. 4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION On the basis of thermal analysis of journal bearing following results come in to the picture 4.1 Temperature Distribution Fig 7 shows that the minimum temperature of the bearing is equal to 79.76 °C and the maximum value of the bearing temperature is equal to 90.99 °C. The intermediate values of the temperature on the surface of the bearing are 79.758, 81.005, 82.253, 83.5, 84.748, 85.996, 87.243, 88.491, 89.738 and 90.986 °C from blue to red color according to color contour. 4.2 Heat Generation in Bearing Heat generated in the bearing was 14328 Watts. This heat was generated in the oil film. The oil is circulated between the bearing and the circular shaft of rotor which is called as journal. There acts a frictional force between the journal and the layer of the fluid. If the layer of the lubricating oil is sufficiently thick there is less heat generated, where there is a very thin film of the lubricating oil between the shaft and the lubricating oil, there are the chances of metal to metal contact and hence the maximum heat is generated in the oil film in that place. The maximum value of heat generation was 14328 Watts. 4.3 Heat Dissipation from Bearing Fig 9 shows the heat dissipation from the upper half surface of the bearing. The minimum value of the heat dissipation is 195.72 Watts. The maximum value of the heat dissipation is 1932 Watts. The calculated value of the heat dissipation is 1921.92 Watts which is nearly equal to 1932 Watts. The other values of heat dissipation 360.36, 525, 687, 850.9, 1015, 1341, 1505 Watts lies between these values. 5. CONCLUSIONS From the thermal analysis done above, the conclusions are drawn are as follows: 1. The calculated amount of the heat generated in the oil film of the bearing was 14328 Watts and the heat dissipated was 1921.92 Watts. The difference between heat generated in oil film and the heat dissipated from the surface of the bearing was 12406 Watts which is of was very large amount. Due to this heat, the bearing is warming up and the bearing pads are getting damaged. 2. The maximum and minimum temperature of the bearing were 90.98 C& 79.8 C respectively. REFERENCES [1].
