Abstract

A study of the behavior of an externally pressurized circular porous thrust bearing using a non-newtonian fluid lubricant was made. The governing Navier-Stokes equations were reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations and were solved numerically with the cross-flow Reynolds number and the Prandtl number as parameters. The pressure distribution and the lift force were evaluated. The effects of cross-viscosity coefficients on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the bearing were determined.
