Variables Used
Journal Speed - (Measured in Radian per Second) - The Journal Speed Value is defined as the speed of the journal of a bearing.
Sommerfeld Number of Journal Bearing - Sommerfeld Number of Journal Bearing is a dimensionless number that is used in designing a hydrodynamic bearing.
Unit bearing pressure for bearing - (Measured in Pascal) - Unit bearing pressure for bearing is the average pressure acting on the contact surface of the bearing.
Radius of Journal - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Journal is the radius of the journal (which rotates freely in a supporting metal sleeve or shell).
Radial clearance for bearing - (Measured in Meter) - Radial clearance for bearing is a measured value of the total movement of one ring relative to the other in a plane perpendicular to the bearing axis.
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.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Sommerfeld Number of Journal Bearing: 2.58 --> No Conversion Required
Unit bearing pressure for bearing: 0.96 Megapascal --> 960000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Radius of Journal: 25.5 Millimeter --> 0.0255 Meter (Check conversion here)
Radial clearance for bearing: 0.024 Millimeter --> 2.4E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)
Dynamic Viscosity of Lubricant: 220 Centipoise --> 0.22 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ns = 2*pi*S*p/(((r/c)^2)*μl) --> 2*pi*2.58*960000/(((0.0255/2.4E-05)^2)*0.22)
Evaluating ... ...
ns = 62.6599795913579
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
62.6599795913579 Radian per Second -->9.97264548650972 Revolution per Second (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
9.97264548650972 9.972645 Revolution per Second <-- Journal Speed
