What is the maximum pressure within the oil film


A shaft with a diameter of 100 mm rotates at 1500 rpm. A fluid-film bearing is designed to support a 5 kN load. Assume the bearing's L/D ratio is 0.5, and the clearance is 0.5 mil. The lubricant used is SAE 40 oil with an inlet temperature of 40 °C.What is the maximum pressure within the oil film and its angular location?
