Abstract
It is very difficult to measure and analyze the internal flows of torque converters because of their complicated construction. In this report, an attempt is made to calculate the characteristics of torque converters by the combination of a one-dimensional flow theory and a finite difference calculation. From the computed results however, it is significant to note, that this experimental result is more useful as a rational design procedure than the pure angular momentum theory.
