<div class="htmlview paragraph">The results of research involving the development and verification of a heat transfer model for a multiple-plate wet clutch are presented. Three specific operating conditions were considered: (1) engaged and slipping, (2) engaged and not slipping, and (3) disengaged. The heat transfer was modeled as forced convection with the main thrust of the research being the determination of a model for the coefficient of convective heat transfer.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Three distinct models for the coefficient of convective heat transfer were developed for the three operating conditions considered. All three models are based on modeling the Nusselt number as a function of the Reynolds number and Prandtl number. All of the models were of the form:</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph"> <div class="graphic-wrapper"><img class="article-image" src="901655_fig0001.jpg" alt="No Caption Available"/></div></div>
