In designing a fixed-incline self-acting thrust pad when the width of the pad is much larger than the length, it is of interest to know the magnitude and location of the maximum pressure. The viscosity of the lubricant is 0.05 N-s/m2, the sliding velocity is 10 m/s, the pad length is 0.3 m, the minimum film thickness is 15 m, and the inlet film thickness is twice the outlet film thickness.

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
