    • Coupling Guard Temperature And Windage Power Loss: Cfd Analysis And Experiments 
      Thompson, Adam; Zhai, Tianbo; Palazzolo, Alan; Keshmiri, Amir (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      High temperatures inside coupling guards can cause machinery down time and loss of revenue. As a result, many industries invest significant time and effort trying to reduce heat generation. Windage flanges are a standard ...
    • Prediction of Coupling Guard Temperature and Gearbox Windage Power Loss 
      Zhai, Tianbo (2016-10-27)
      Gear Windage Power Loss (WPL) is due to fluid drag experienced by a gear when it is rotating in air or an air-oil mist. Gear WPL becomes significant and shall not be neglected in high speed applications. The temperature ...
