Reynolds equation contains the answer. However, Raimondi and Boyd have given us the solution in nice charts which are presented in all Machine Design books. Also, Niemann and Winter in their Maschinenelemente book.
Greetings, At first, you need detect the energy components activated in the considered problem, and then investigated the effects of this parameter on the activated energy components. I think you may want to see the following papers that are on the your question:
