Abstract
A numerical solution for the outflow of heat from a cylindrical clutch type of device is used to show the effects of the various significant dimensions, fluid characteristics, and running arrangements for unexc ited operation. In the first instance the fluid is considered to be is othermal and in the second the radial temperature distribution across it is calculated. In this second case the average temperature of the f ilm flow is now established and the effect of the various parameters e xamined with the whole film viscosity taken at this average temperatur e. Results are verified from experimental data acquired from a single acting clutch using two fluids and speeds.
