A fixed inclined-plane hydrodynamic thrust bearing of length 100mm and width
500mm operates at sliding velocity 1m/s and a normal load of 10 kN. Find the
viscosity of a mineral oil such that the minimum film thickness is at least 50 μm
for a bearing operating at maximum load capacity. Calculate the volumetric flow
rate. For an application requiring bearing stiffness of 16 N/μm, how many pads
are required in the bearing?
