...Junjie Lu Purpose This study aims to study the gas film stiffness of the spiral groove dry gas seal. Design/methodology/approach The present study represents the first attempt to calculate gas film stiffness in consideration of the slipping effect by using the new test technology for dry gas...

... volume fraction, temperature and convection heat transfer is investigated. A temperature test for under-race lubrication is carried out. Findings Because of the centrifugal force, lubricating oil is located more on the outer ring raceway. As the rotation speed decreases and the inlet velocity...

... takes place in two steps. In the first step, oil in its original condition is subjected to different stresses to reproduce changes experienced in service within a relatively short period of time. In the second step, the resulting oil is subjected to filterability tests. Existing test methods were...
