Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical study of the performance characteristics of a constant flow valve compensated multirecess hydrostatic journal bearings operating with micropolar lubricant. The finite element method and iterative procedure have been used to solve the modified Reynolds equation governing the micropolar lubricant flow in the bearing. The performance characteristics are presented for a wide range of nondimensional load, lubricant flow, and micropolar parameters. It has been observed that the micropolar parameters significantly influence the performance characteristics of the bearing.
