โฆ Synopsis
S u m m a r y !~ Thls is the second of a series of two papers in which the steady stare velocity and temperature distributions in a liquid film are anMytically investigated. The liquid is assumed to appear on a flat surface due to transpiration through a porous medium or the melting of a solid material. The tiquid is considered to be introduced into the film at the solid-liquid interface, in a direction normal to the interface, such t h a t mass is continually beillg added to the film along the longitudinal path of flow.
The flow, which is assumed to be laminar, occurs under the influence of gravity or an externatly applied shear stress at the film surface. H e a t transfer takes place into the film b y convection from an atmosphere which is at a higher temperature than the liquid. Evaporation and gaseous boundary layer effects are not considered. Physical properties of the liquid, such as density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity are considered constant.
In the first paper, an investigation is made of the vetocity distribution for a liquid film which is subjected to a uniform body force. In this paper, the velocity distribution is determined for a film which is subjected to an externally applied shear stress at the film surface. In addition, t e m p e r a t u r e distributions are determined for a film subjected to either a gravity body force or a surface shear stress. The externally applied surface shear stress, and the rate at which liquid is introduced into the film are, in general, considered independent of position.
The continuity, momentum, and energy equations are set up in integral form. Then, the problems of determining the film thicknesses, velocity distributions, and temperature distributions are approached in four different ways, referred to as Case I, II, I I I and IV. These four cases differ from one another by the simplifying assumptions made. These assumptions are made

Two optical techniques are described for measurement of a liquid film's surface. Both techniques make use of the total internal reflection which occurs at a liquid-vapor interface due to the refractive index difference between a liquid and a vapor. The first technique is used for film thickness dete
