An experimental investigation of the pressure distribution of air in radial flow in thin films between parallel plates

摘要

An experimental investigation of the pressuredistribution of air in radial flow between parallelplates was conducted.Data were collected on the pressure distribution,mass rate of flow of air and film thickness.Variations were made in the load applied tothe upper plate, stagnation pressure at the airsupply hole, and the upper plate geometry. Twoupper plates having the same outside diameters butdifferent supply hole diameters were employed.
