Question: Design a plain surface bearing using the full - film hydrodynamically lubricated bearing approach able to carry 1 5 0 0 lb from a shaft

Design a plain surface bearing using the full-film hydrodynamically lubricated bearing approach able to carry 1500lb from a shaft having a diameter of 2.5in and rotating at 1000rpm. Start with a nominal pressure of 240psi. Identify the required minimum lubricant viscosity, and calculate the friction torque (lb in) and the frictional power loss (hp).
