Question
Two circular plane discs of radius R2 have their axes vertical and in line. They are separated by an oil film
of uniform thickness. The oil is supplied continuously at a pressure pi to a well of radius Ri placed centrally
in the lower disc, from where it flows radially outwards and escapes to atmosphere. The depth of the well
is large compared with the clearance between the discs. Show that the total force tending to lift the upper
disc is given by,
aP1(R3 – R?)
2 In(R2/R1)
and determine the clearance when the dynamic viscosity of the oil is 0.008 Pa s, the flow 0.85L s, pi
= 550 kPa, R 12.5 mm and R2 = 50 mm. Assume laminar flow and neglect end effects.
