- Additional information
- It is industry-relevant research showing for the first time the effect of lubricants on the efficiency of a racing gearbox. Both wet and dry lubrication concepts were explored using Anderson-Loventhal and Changenet formulations for oil jet and churning losses, respectively. One of the major highlights was the investigation of the performance of several oils, in total 17, and related discussion with Shell Global Solutions. Along the way, this work found some incorrect Anderson-Loventhal equations, which have now been updated and acknowledged on NASA website.
