RE: automotive clutch life
I know people who with less power kill their clutches in under 50,000miles. I have 110,000 on mine and many competition miles in there. It doesnt slip at all yet. the slave cyl may fail before the disc does.

RE: automotive clutch life
This lost energy is used to heat the lining material, which you may be able to model, and to wear it away, for which you need a wear equation. These do exist, try researching brake calculations. Roughly the enrgy required is related to the particle size, and the UTS of the material in shear.
