Variables Used
Flow Coefficient - The Flow Coefficient is a relative measure of the efficiency at allowing fluid flow.
Flow of Lubricant - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Flow of Lubricant can be defined as the amount of lubricant flowing per unit time between the surfaces.
Total Projected Area of Bearing Pad - (Measured in Square Meter) - Total projected area of bearing pad is the total area of the bearing pad that is projected onto the bearing surface.
Dynamic Viscosity of Lubricant - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity of Lubricant is the resistance to movement of one layer of fluid over another.
Load Acting on Sliding Bearing - (Measured in Newton) - Load Acting on Sliding Bearing is the force acting onto the sliding journal bearing.
Oil film thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Oil film thickness is defined as the thickness of the oil film between the two parts in relative motion.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Flow of Lubricant: 1600 Cubic Millimeter per Second --> 1.6E-06 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Total Projected Area of Bearing Pad: 450 Square Millimeter --> 0.00045 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
