✦ Synopsis

The analysis presented herein deals with the evaluation of pressure and temperature fields which are generated in thin fluid films of varying thickness. The particular problem of a misaligned journal bearing has been studied by solving simultaneously the Reynolds and energy equations, which also include the effects of viscous dissipation and the variation of fluid viscosity with temperature.

The method has been used to predict pressure and temperature fields as well as global performance parameters for a typical journal bearing operation.
