Figure 16.13 Isobaric contour plots for three fluid inlet levels for dimensionless
minimum film thickness Hmin of 1.0 x 10-4. (a) Fully flooded condition: dimensionless
fluid inlet level Hin, 1.00; dimensionless pressure, where dP/dX=0, Pm, 1.20 x 106;
dimensionless load-speed ratio W/U, 1153.6. (b) Starved condition; Hin, 0.004; Pm =
1.19 x 106; W/U = 862.6. (c) Starved condition: Hin =0.001; Pm = 1.13 x 106; W/U =
