Abstract
Flow and heat transfer inside a nonisothermal, incompressible, thin-film squeezing bearing are analyzed. The governing equations have been nondimensionalized and reduced to simpler forms based on an order of magnitude analysis. Various analytical solutions for the temperature distribution and Nusselt number under different physical constraints are obtained. The influence of the thermal squeezing parameter as well as the motion characteristics of an oscillating bearing are determined on a Nusselt number analytically and numerically, and, similarly, the Nusselt number history is shown for an oscillating thin-film bearing.
