Question:

Friction loss in bearings) each of two screws on a large motor-ship is driven by a 4000-hp engine. The shaft that connects the motor and the screw is 16 in. in diameter and rests in a series of sleeve bearings that give a 0.005 in clearance. The shaft rotates at 50 rpm, the lubricant has a viscosity of 5000 cp, and there are 20 bearings, each I ft in length. Estimate the fraction of engine power expended in rotating the shafts in their bearings. Neglect the effect of the eccentricity.
