Abstract: The journal bearing test rig is used for experimental research to evaluate the effect of various speeds and loads utilizing two distinct fluids, SAE 30 and Ferro Fluid. The effect of lubricant mobility on a loaded journal bearing is investigated, and metrics such as coefficient of friction, load capacities, and bearing pressure are calculated to better understand the nature of both lubricants. Three distinct loads are introduced to the setup at three different rpms: 500, 600, and 700. A thorough tabular form is created to compare each load bearing capacity. The comparison results suggest that a proper ratio of nano particles added to a lubricant can boost load bearing ability and might carry away most of the temperature created due to friction.
