In the design of high pressure piston pumps/motors, some manufacturers use pistons which
have grooves being cut along the piston length, while others do not use grooves at all. The …

A simple mathematical model for the engagement of rough, permeable, grooved wet
clutches has been developed and used to determine the effect of various input parameters …

A comprehensive formulation of the governing equations, boundary conditions, and
numerical solution technique is presented for modeling the thermal aspects of the …

A three-dimensional thermohydrodynamic analysis of a wet clutch is performed that covers
the entire cycle of engagement from slip to lock to detachment. The contact condition of the …

A model is developed to investigate the effect of radial grooves and waffle-shape grooves on
the performance of a wet clutch. Three-dimensional formulation of the governing equations …

The approximate torque response model for the engagement of a wet friction clutch,
developed by Berger [1, 2], was modified and enhanced. The modified Reynolds equation …

A detailed experimental validation has been carried out to point to limitations of static wet-
clutch friction model for typical clutch engagement transients. The model accuracy can be …

The simplified isothermal model for wet clutch engagement previously developed by Berger,
Sadeghi, and Krousgrill (Berger, EJ, Sadeghi, F., and Krousgrill, CM, 1996,“Analytical and …

The temperature plays a significant role in the tribology properties and failure of friction
materials during engagement of wet clutch. In order to obtain the temperature field of carbon …

Most state-of-the-art natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) plants are triple-pressure
reheat cycles with efficiencies close to 60%. However, with carbon capture and storage, the …
