Abstract
The present article deals with the measurement and the numerical calculations far the temperature distribution near the facing of the lockup clutch. The rotating telemetry system is Introduced for the estimation inside high-speed torque converter For the numerical calculation, the effect of the convective heat transfer is considered as well as the conduction to the solid. The estimation shows that the oil temperature near facing rapidly rises as the lockup clutch is engaged. The numerical results shows good agreements with the experimental values for the maximum temperature near the facing of the lockup clutch.
