...Miaojie Wu; Xu Han; Yourui Tao; Jiaxing Pei In this paper, the application scope of the average flow model is extended to grease lubrication considering the non-Newtonian characteristics. First, flow factor expressions applicable to both Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids are derived...

.... The vast majority of such papers seem to take the approach well-described in Bird et al. [( 28 )], Part 2- Kinetic Theory, and Larson [( 29 )]. Very briefly, the idea is to idealize the non-Newtonian fluid as a Newtonian fluid solvent with a solute microstructure. The microstructure generally consists...

... between the Newtonian solution and the Eyring solution has been made under some operating conditions. It is interesting to see that the effective viscosity of the Eyring fluid is nearly the same as that of the Newtonian fluid when the size of a contact is large enough. The non-Newtonian effect, therefore...

... The EHL film thickness experiments described in this paper were obtained for pure rolling. For pure rolling, τ ¯ a = 0 and τ ¯ b = 0 . As a result, the non-Newtonian function defined in Eq. 10 becomes 15 f ( τ ¯ e ) = 1 ∑ i = 1 N f i [ 1...
