The product of friction factor and Reynolds number correlated between the channel-half angle and contact angle is used to analyze the dimensionless liquid flow shape factor, and to find its optimal design. The effects of both the contact angle, , and the product of friction factor and Reynolds number, , on the dimensionless liquid flow shape factor , are minial when the channel-half angle is less than 5 degree, i.e., . A higher dimensionless liquid flow shape factor, , is obtained at the low product of friction factor and Reynolds number. The results indicate that the optimal design of the dimensionless liquid flow shape factor is reached when contact angle, , and channel-half angle, .
