...H.C. Garg; Vijay Kumar Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of plugging of holes on the static performance characteristics of a constant flow valve compensated hole‐entry hybrid journal bearing system operating with Newtonian and non‐Newtonian lubricants. The analysis considers...

... constant flow valve restrictor. The non‐Newtonian lubricant is assumed to follow the cubic shear stress law. Findings The study indicates that for generation of accurate bearing characteristics data, the inclusion of non‐linear effects of lubricant in the analysis is essential. Originality/value...
