A journal bearing is idealized as a stationary flat plate and a moving flat plate that moves parallel to it. The space between the two plates is filled by an incompressible fluid. Consider such a bearing with the stationary and moving plates at 10°C and 20°C respectively, the distance between them is 3 mm, the speed of the moving plate is 5 m/s, and there is engine oil between the plates.

(a) Calculate the heat flux to the upper and lower plates
(b) Determine the maximum temperature of the oil.
GIVEN
Journal bearing: Two flat plates, one stationary, one moving with oil between them
Stationary plate temperature (Ts) = 10°C

Distance between plate (H) = 3 mm = 0.003 m
Speed of the moving plate (Up) = 5 m/s
FIND
(a) Heat flux (q/A) for the plates
(b) The maximum temperature of the oil
ASSUMPTIONS
