Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication is a comprehensive textbook that provides a thorough theoretical foundation for senior undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical engineering, as well as practicing engineers involved in the design and analysis of fluid film lubricated bearings for rotating machinery. The book covers all aspects of fluid film lubrication, including rotor-bearing dynamics, thermo-hydrodynamic lubrication, gas lubrication, elastohydrodynamic lubrication, fluid inertia effects, and turbulence in fluid film lubrication. The text is divided into fifteen chapters, each covering a specific topic in fluid film lubrication. The authors, Mihir Kumar Ghosh, Bankim Chandra Majumdar, and Mihir Sarangi, are all respected experts in the field of tribology and have contributed significantly to the development of lubrication theory. The book includes numerous examples, problems, and references to help readers understand and apply the concepts discussed. The authors also provide detailed profiles of themselves, highlighting their academic and professional backgrounds. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of fluid film lubrication and its applications in mechanical engineering.Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication is a comprehensive textbook that provides a thorough theoretical foundation for senior undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical engineering, as well as practicing engineers involved in the design and analysis of fluid film lubricated bearings for rotating machinery.
