The simple fluid coupling depicted figure on the right is installed between a motor and a driven load to allow slippage between the two during transients such as start-up or a sudden stop. Develop the relationship between the rate of slip between the disks (?1???2?) under steady-state operation as a function of the applied torque T, the disk diameter D, the thickness h of the thin film of Newtonian fluid filling the gap between the disks, and the fluid's viscosity ?.
