Abstract
An externally pressurized circular thrust gas-bearing with multiple supply holes and no recesses is investigated theoretically by means of the complex potential theory. By using a suitable potential function which satisfies the boundary conditions, the authors obtain theoretically the pressure distribution and volume rate of flow for both an incompressible fluid and a compressible fluid, and load capacity for an incompressible fluid. Then they find the optimum radial position of supply holes which gives the largest load capacity. The theory can be extended to any number of the supply holes. Contributed by the ASLE Technical Committee on Bearings and Bearing Lubrication and presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers held in Chicago, Illinois, May, 1964.
