Moment of Inertia in Process Equipment Design Formulas

Moment of Inertia about the Neutral Axis is equal to the sum of the products of each element of mass in the body and the square of the element’s distance from the axis. And is denoted by I. Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Millimeter⁴ for Second Moment of Area. Note that the value of Moment of Inertia is always positive.
