The lubrication modes of line contact between the vane and the camring in an oil hydraulic vane pump have been investigated. First, variations of the radial acting force of a vane were calculated from previously measured results of the dynamic internal pressure in four chambers surrounding a vane. Next, distinctions of the lubrication modes were made using Hooke's chart, which represents an improvement over Johnson's chart. Finally, the influence of boundary conditions in the lubrication region on fluid film lubrication was examined by calculating film pressure distributions. The results show that the lubrication modes of the vane tip are a rigid-variable viscosity region. This region discharges pressure higher than 7 MPa, and exerts a great influence on oil film pressure in the large arc section due to the Piezo-viscous effect.

Engine lubrication system has very complex oil flow networks. Therefore it is difficult to evaluate and optimize the system only depending on experimental results. When we plan upgrading the engine performance the engine lubrication system must be considered in the plan. In this paper, engine lubrication system design using computational fluid dynamic analysis was studied. To do this, unsteady transient flow network analysis on the engine oil circuit system was carried out. Finally we discussed the design process in the modified engine lubrication system.

This study has conducted numerical analysis for lubrication system of transmission for commercial vehicle. The lubrication oil system in transmission can be applied to a large scale commercial vehicle which is over 15tons. The flow rate of lubricating oil has been obtained for each of branch port from the lubrication pipe. The results from numerical simulation are mainly suggested for the mass flow rate of lubrication oil in the rotating main shaft of transmission system. It has been found that the mass flow rate from oil hole increased with an rotating rate of main shaft. The flow characteristic from oil hole has been presented for the lubricating system in the manual transmission.

In this study, a motor-integrated high-speed spindle system with $\psi$65mm $\times$ 25,000rpm is developed by introducing the oil-jet lubrication method, ceramic angular contact ball bearings, a built-in motor and so on. And oil-jet lubrication experiments fur evaluating the system performance are performed under various operation conditions. Especially, in order to establish the oillet lubrication conditions related to the development of a high-speed spindle system, the effects of oil supply rate and rotational spindle speed are investigated on the temperature rise, temperature distribution, motor current and so on.

초기 엔진 개발 단계에서 양질의 엔진 개념 설계를 얻기 위해 가장 중요하게 다루는 분야가 엔진윤활시스템 설계라는 것은 지나친 말이 아니다. 그러므로 초기 개념설계 후 엔진제작에 앞서 초기 설계된 윤활시스템과 그 관련 부품에 대한 시스템 윤활해석을 수행하는 것은 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 초기 개념 설계된 2.0 L DOHC엔진에 대한 엔진 베어링과 윤활시스템에 대하여 수치해석적으로 유로망 해석을 하여 설계검증을 한 결과를 기술하고자 한다.

A Parametric study based on a computer analysis of the lubrication system of a four-cylinder gasoline engine is illustrated. Through the parametric study, the effects of various aeration levels on the change of oil flow rate and pressure are investigated. Also, at high oil temperature and low engine speed, the effect of oil aeration level on oil flow characteristics in lubrication system is investigated. The illustrated results may give to designers the guide lines of oil aeration level for the safe design of engine lubrication systems in terms of minimum pressure at crank oil bore.

In development process of engine lubrication system, many failure cases are related with aeration problem. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the aeration in the engine oil circuit system. As of today, many factors have been introduced as the major cause in the engine oil aeration. However, still many test data related with those are required to clearly understand it. In this paper the aeration measurement system and calculation method are introduced. And also using this system we measured engine oil aeration for various cases. From these results some conclusions are reduced.

phase lubrication can be used as an alterative lubrication method to overcome the demerits of liquid and solid lubrications. In this work, the tribological characteristics of metals are investigated under vapor phase lubrication. It was found that the friction coefficient and wear volume can be controlled efficiently by the amount of vapor phase lubricant delivered to the sliding interface. The friction coefficient could be reduced to about 0.1 under vapor lubrication. Also, depending on the amount of vapor lubrication delivered to the system, the width of the wear track could be varied between 50 to 250 Um. It is shown that vapor phase lubrication mechanism is very effective to control the friction and wear phenomena without the use of excessive oil.
