The hydrodynamic study of the film is a prerequisite for the study of the intensity of the heat transfer during the cooling of a horizontal plate by a liquid film. This experimental work made it possible to quantify the hydrodynamic parameters by a new approach, a relation linking the thickness of the film to the velocity was found as a function of the geometrical and hydrodynamic characteristics of the sprayer. A new statistical approach has been developed for the measurement of the velocity, the liquid fluid arriving at the edge of the plate and having velocity V is spilled out like a projectile. The recovering of the liquid in tubes allowed us to quantify flow rates for different heights positions relative to the plate, statistical processing permitted us to assess the probable velocity with a margin of error.}, type={Article}, title={New analysis of experimental data of the hydrodynamic liquid film around jet zone on horizontal plate}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/121168/PDF-MASTER/AME_2021_138400.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ame.2021.138400}, keywords={sprayer, liquid film, velocity measurement, projectile method, normal law}, }
