Abstract
The main objective of this chapter is to investigate the performance of automobile transmission gearbox under the influence of load, rotational speed, and lubrication on multi speed gearbox gear surface. Gear oil SAE 80W-90 was used as gearbox lubricant, for cooling of transmission gearbox for high performance. An assumption has been made at the air-gear oil mist within transmission is under steady state condition, in isothermal equilibrium with the transmission gear oil bath of lubricant. The lubrication in multi speed transmission is subjected to thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The present chapter deals with the thermo-mechanical performance study of multi speed transmission (4 speed, excluding reverse gear) system, which combines transient structure analysis of the gear train assembly. The engaged gear teeth pairs transmit torque subjected to thermo-elastohydrodynamic arrangements of lubrication. The study here analyzed transmission in second gear pair.
