Abstract
A theoretical study was made of the characteristics of squeeze film and externally pressurized bearings using non-Newtonian power law lubricants where the consistency of the lubricant is varied exponentially with temperature and pressure. Numerical results revealed that the thermal effects can be significant depending upon the parameters characterizing the consistency variation. The flow flux of the lubricant increases or decreases as the flow behaviour index n increases depending upon the choice of the consistency-pressure and consistency-temperature coefficients. The load capacity of the bearings decreases as the parameter λ characterizing the consistency variation increases.
