This article presents the analysis of a two-lobe hole-entry hybrid journal bearing operating with micropolar lubrication. The modified Reynolds equation governing the laminar flow of isoviscous, incompressible micropolar lubricant in the clearance space of a journal bearing system has been solved using a finite element model incorporating appropriate boundary conditions. A comparative analysis between circular and noncircular two-lobe hybrid journal bearings with capillary restrictor under Newtonian and micropolar lubrication has been presented. It is concluded that bearing performance characteristics are significantly influenced by micropolar lubrication.
