The theory for the thermal wedge thrust pad is given assuming (a) all the heat is taken away by the oil and (b) the viscosity is constant across the thickness of the film. The viscosity is allowed to vary in the direction of motion. Solutions are obtained by both analytical and relaxation methods for infinite and finite pads. The viscosity is allowed to vary in the direction of motion and also a constant value is taken. The results are displayed non-dimensionally graphically.
