The object of this study is hydrostatic processes in the fluid friction bearings of gear-type aviation fuel pumps.
The problem of the influence of the design parameters of a single-chamber hydrostatic bearing on its main characteristics was solved. The main characteristics were considered to be the load-bearing capacity and the flow rate of the working fluid. When determining the main characteristics of a single-chamber hydrostatic bearing, the Reynolds and flow balance equations were solved jointly. The resulting diagram of pressure distribution over the working surface of the bearing was used to determine the main characteristics.
The influence of the clearance, nozzle diameter, and chamber width on the load-bearing capacity and working fluid flow of a single-chamber hydrostatic bearing was studied.
It has been established that as the gap increases, the load-bearing capacity of a single-chamber bearing decreases, and the flow rate of the working fluid increases. As the nozzle diameter increases, the bearing's load-bearing capacity increases. Increasing the width of the chambers leads to an increase in the load-bearing capacity and flow of working fluid through the bearing. When the gap increases from 0.0125 mm to 0.0425 mm, the bearing capacity decreases by 1.156 times. The flow rate of working fluid through the bearing increases by 1.4 times. With an increase in the nozzle diameter from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, the bearing capacity increases slightly by approximately 1.02 times. Increasing the width of the chambers from 4 mm to 8 mm increases the load-bearing capacity by 1.29 times and increases the flow rate of working fluid by 1.4 times.
The results show that a single-chamber hydrostatic bearing can provide the required load-bearing capacity by selecting design parameters. The given mathematical dependences could be used for practical calculations of single-chamber hydrostatic bearings
