Air-gap convection in rotating electrical machines

This paper reviews the convective heat transfer within the air gap of both cylindrical and disk geometry rotating electrical machines, including worked examples relevant to fractional horsepower electrical machines. Thermal analysis of electrical machines is important because torque density is limit...
