Rsum: La thorie en matire de lubrification qui considre que la pte est un lubrifiant entre le rotor et le stator peut expliquer comment la force de fermeture est soutenue. Elle exige que l’angle entre les deux disques soit petit et que les barres du raffineur soient de forme approprie. Calculer la force de fermeture (P) et la diviser par la force de cisaillement (F) donne un rapport non dimensionnel en bonne corrlation avec les valeurs mesures de la charge du moteur du raffineur et de la pression hydraulique, tout en tenant compte de la pression de vapeur. La valeur exacte de la viscosit apparente de la pte n’est pas ncessaire.
