The steady state operational performance of gas-lubricated porous journal bearings is analyzed by using a numerical iterative method. Results are obtained, and presented in charts and tables, for the length-to-diameter ratio values of 1, 2, and 3; the eccentricity ratio values of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8; the compressibility number from 0 to 10; and several values of the feeding parameter and the supply-to-ambient pressure ratio commonly found in applications.
