From equation (4) and (5)

For rotor


On substituting values


c). Torsional damping constant B
The rotor is rotating in the surrounding environment of viscous oil, due to which damping effect(viscous force) will be generated., and this viscous force will cause resisting viscous torque.Viscous force is given by the following relation

, is the area between
rotor and stator
is the viscosity of
oil
is a relative
velocity between rotor and stator
is the gap between
rotor and stator
is resisting torque
due to viscous effect
is rotor radius
is rotor angular
