Improvement of Thrust Bearing Calculation Considering the Convectional Heating within the Space between the Pads

A modern thrust bearing tool is used to estimate the behavior of tilting pad thrust bearings not only in the oil film between pad and rotating collar, but also in the space between the pads. The oil flow in the space significantly influences the oil film inlet temperature and the heating of pad and...
