Measurement of Friction Coefficient on a Powder Layer and Fluid Dynamic Study

Results of comparison experiments ~ The basal surface of the disk (2)

On a starch layer, no common feature was found; some results showed three phases, while others did not. In the group of results having three phases, mB ranges from 0.11 to 0.15. These values are nearly equal to the values for group in which S-type disks were used.

In the case for silica sand, the sliding process could hardly be observed for the same reason described in section 5.1. m* in this case ranges from 0.61 to 0.73.
