Oil flow through stator windings
Oil flow through stator windings
(OP)
Hello All,
I have been tasked with theoretically finding what the flow rate through the windings of a stator would be based on the given information. I have been tasked with this although it is out of my expertise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I began by using the formula Q = AVK but I did not get an answer that made sense. If I didn't supply enough information please let me know. I have attached a diagram of the stator assembly and flow path. Thanks.

It seems like a cold inert gas would be the way to go. The increased volume you would need might be considerably offset by the substantially lower pressure drop you would get using a gas rather than a more viscous oil.

A few simplifications / assumptions:
V2 (which can be used to calculate flow rate, given you have CSA) = (2*(p1-p2)/rho)^(1/2) per pipe.
How confident are you in the pressures you nominated?

For my part, I am more used to seeing water cooled windings than oil cooled, but oil will certainly work.
