An investigation of the tribological conditions and lubrication mechanisms within a hydraulic Geroler motor / Aaron Decker Kimball. by Kimball, Aaron Decker Subjects Hydraulic machinery   Tribology   Lubrication and lubricants   Mathematical analysis   MSE Project. Description:  132 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Thesis advisor: Dr. Subha Kumpaty Committee members: Paul Michael, Dr. Matey Kaltchev Introduction and review of literature -- The Geroler motor -- Lubrication mechanisms - theory and experimentation -- Mathematical analysis - methodology -- Results -- Conclusions and recommendations -- A: Geometrical layout -- B: Velocity calculations -- C: Arc length calculations -- D: Normal vector derivation -- E: Resultant vector derivation -- F: Statics solution -- G: Radius of curvature derivation -- H: Hertzian pressure calculations. Lubrication mechanisms are not well understood in hydraulic motors. This project aims to expand the knowledge of the tribological conditions and lubrication mechanisms within a hydraulic Geroler motor. A mathematical analysis of the tribological conditions within a hydraulic Geroler motor is performed and compared to experimental data. Parametric equations for the spatial layout of the Geroler components are derived and used along with the method of statics to determine loading conditions and theoretical lubrication quantities such as dimensionless viscosity, dimensionless elasticity, and film thickness. The Geroler motor is shown to exhibit high efficiency response to changes in boundary friction coefficients. A lesser, but still noteworthy, response to a fluid's viscosity index (VI) is also observed.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .K52 2009 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
