A 25 mm diameter shaft is rotated at 200 rpm in a lubricated cylindrical bearing of diameter 25.5 mm (the figure below). The lubrication oil (SG = 0.86) that fills the gap between the shaft and bearing has an initial kinematic viscosity of 2200 mm2/s. After 5 minutes of running the temperature of the oil increases and the dynamic viscosity decreases by 90 %. Determine the reduction in shaft torque (T) that occurs from startup to after 5 minutes of running. Assume the velocity distribution in the gap is linear (Specific gravity of a fluid = Density of Fluid/Density of water, Kinematic viscosity = Dynamic viscosity/density)
