Abstract:
This study presents a comprehensive investigation into a 3D simulation of magnetorheological (MR) conical bearings, focusing on considering viscous dissipation using the conjugated heat transfer approach. The behavior of MR fluids is expressed through the utilization of the Bingham-Papanastasiou constitutive equation. Notably, this study considers variations in viscosity and yield stress as functions of both magnetic field intensity and temperature. The study utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing fluid dynamics, magnetism, and heat transfer, to model and analyze the behavior of MR fluids within conical bearing geometries. The governing equations containing Cauchy momentum, energy, and Maxwell equations are solved using the finite element method. This research delves into the impacts of viscous dissipation on the functional and characteristic attributes of conical bearings. The energy equations in solid and fluid domains and extended considerations to the plug region within viscous dissipation are specifically addressed. Extensive validation is performed through a comparative analysis involving experimental, numerical, and analytical studies to ensure the validity of results. The results reveal the substantial impact of temperature on both the characteristics and functionality of magnetorheological conical bearings.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
