Abstract

The present paper squarely aims to scrutinize the normal velocity of a hydrodynamic lubrication of roller bearings. The changes that happen in lubrication consistency due to pressure and temperature are shown in figures and tables. Further, hydrodynamic lubricant pressure, film temperature, mean film temperature, load and traction for different consistency index n and squeezing velocity q are calculated and compared with the previous results. Those results are positively agreed with the previous findings.
