Abstract
An investigation has been carried out on the behaviour of a thin sheet of liquid in connexion with the new method of lacquer application known as ’curtain coating’. A method is described for measuring the velocity of the sheet and an equation deduced for calculating this for a liquid of any viscosity. The minimum liquid flow rate required to maintain a stable sheet is discussed, and some effects of the impingement of the sheet on a rapidly moving surface are described.Keywords
