In this paper, the work deals with steady-state analysis for lubrication in a journal bearing. The effect of non-Newtonian fluid has been studied by assuming the Ree-Eyring model and it is used to describe the lubricant rheology. The current analysis has been done under the assumption of isothermal conditions for the sake of simplicity. A first-order perturbation approach has been used to derive the Reynolds equation introducing the effect of non-Newtonian fluid behavior. It is discretized using a finite difference scheme and a computational algorithm based upon the Newton-Raphson technique has been developed. The deviations of lubrication characteristics in terms of film shape, minimum film thickness, attitude angle, fluid pressure distribution, coefficient of friction and studied with respect to shaft speed, load, and radial clearance.
