Description: Critical speed (nk) is the rotational speed at which acting dynamic forces cause a machine component (e. g. shaft, rotor) to vibrate at its natural frequency (also referred to as intrinsic frequency, fi) and can even result in resonant vibrations throughout the entire machine and pump set; Name: crit. Speed
Description: Speed of rotation at which the frequency of vibration (or its multiples) corresponds to the rotor resonant (lateral or torsional) ; Name: Critical speed
Description: determined through a surface, product of the sound pressure, p, and the component of the particle velocity, un, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over that surface; Name: sound power
