An irregular bore journal bearing of elliptic shape is analyzed numerically for various performance parameters considering the adiabatic temperature rise in the lubricant conjunction. The temperature contours are plotted to study the behavior of isotherms due to the presence of bore ellipticity. The ratio of thermal to isothermal value of all parameters are investigated for a range of non-circularity value with various eccentricity ratios. A numerical solution of the Reynolds equation and energy equation is carried out by setting an appropriate convergence criteria for pressure and temperature.
