Abstract

In the present study, the performance of squeeze films between parallel elliptical plates lubricated by non-Newtonian couplestress ferrofluid has been investigated using transverse magnetic field. Based on the Shliomis' ferro-hydrodynamic model along with stroke micro-continuum theory the Reynolds expression was derived for engineering application. Furthermore, the solution for pressure distribution has been obtained in the analysis. Results shows that the non ferrofluid characterized the squeeze film operating with a higher standards of Langevin parameter and volume concentration of magnetic particles enhances the load capacity and maximize the squeeze time of the elliptical plate compared to Newtonian and non-ferrofluid case.
