The Role of Radial Clearance on the Performance of Foil Air Bearings
摘要:
Load capacity tests were conducted to determine how radial clearance variations affect the load capacity coefficient of foil air bearings. Two Generation III foil air bearings with the same design but possessing different initial radial clearances were tested at room temperature against an as-ground PS304 coated journal operating at 30000 rpm. Increases in radial clearance were accomplished by reducing the journal's outside diameter via an in-place grinding system. Front each load capacity test the bearing load capacity coefficient was calculated from the rule-of-thumb (ROT) model developed for foil air bearings.The test results indicate that, in terms of the load capacity coefficient, radial clearance has a direct impact on the performance of the foil air bearing. Each test bearing exhibited an optimum radial clearance that resulted in a maximum load capacity coefficient. Relative to this optimum value are two separate operating regimes that are governed by different modes of failure. Bearings operating with radial clearances less than the optimum exhibit load capacity coefficients that are a strong function of radial clearance and are prone to a thermal runaway failure mechanism and bearing seizure. Conversely, a bearing operating with a radial clearance m,ice the optimum suffered only a 20% decline in its maximum load capacity coefficient and did not experience any thermal management problems. However, it is unknown to what degree these changes in radial clearance had on other performance parameters, such (is the stiffness and damping properties of the bearings.
The ergosterol diene system reacts in excellent yield with a series of 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones generated by in situ oxidation of the appropriate hydrazides with phenylseleninic anhydride or phenylseleninic acid. Diaryltelluroxide and diphenylselenoxide are also efficient oxdants. The diene system can be smoothly regenerated by alkaline hydrolysis.

Reduction of ergosterol alkoxide derivatives with lithium metal gives better yields of the 7(8)-reduced product brassicasterol than previous procedures; the mixed products of the reduction are easily converted into ergosta-2,22-dien-6-one, a convenient intermediate for brassinolide synthesis.
