Abstract

Abstract: Torque converter is a commonly used machine device in automobiles to transmit the rotating power from a source like I.C engine, to a rotating driven load. It is widely used in automatic transmission vehicles to change the speed from the engine to the transmission and also multiply the torque. Effective modeling of torque converters leads to increase the performance and efficiency. The inlet and outlet blade angles take part in a significant role in determining the performance and efficiency of a torque converter. In this paper the performance of torque converter has been evaluated by changing the angle of stator blades by using ANSYS software. Four torque converter with different stator blade angle (15°, 25°, 35°, 40°) are designed and simulated to investigate the effects of blade angles on their overall performance and efficiency.
