Influence of Critical Flow Rates on Characteristics of Enforced and Shear Flows in Circular Convergent-Divergent Channels

Analysis of the reasons of critical flow rate occurrence in hydraulic tracts of cryogenic machines has been carried out. Theoretical expressions have been derived to calculate critical velocities in a boiling multiphase medium. Applied to hybrid fluid-film bearings with throttles for lubricant suppl...
