8.6 A thrust bearing analysis is to be performed on the bearing shown below. The pressure at x = 0 and at x = l is zero. The analysis should consist of considering the lubrication in the two separate regions (1) 0≤ x ≤ n sl and (2) en ≤ x ≤ l and equated at the common boundary (x = ns ). Side leakage is to be neglected. Starting with the appropriate Reynolds equation, determine the pressure throughout the bearing. Also show that the pressure at the common boundary (x = n,l), when s₁ = 0, is exactly Eq. (8.70) or (8.71) for a parallel-step bearing. (See below) $I ·ngl- ShI (2) По x Up
