  2. Windage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windage

    Windage is a force created on an object by friction when there is relative movement between air and the object. Windage loss is the reduction in efficiency due to windage forces. For example, electric motors are affected by friction between the rotor and air. [ 1 ]

  3. Losses in steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_steam_turbines

    heat loss from steam before entering the nozzle, deflection of flow in the nozzle, boundary layer development in the nozzle, turbulence in the nozzle, and; the friction in the nozzle which reduces the available enthalpy drop. Hence, the actual velocity leaving the nozzle is less than that obtained with isentropic expansion.

    Friction and windage, 5–15%; Iron or core losses, 15–25%; Stator losses, 25–40%; Rotor losses, 15–25%; Stray load losses, 10–20%. For an electric motor, the efficiency, represented by the Greek letter Eta, [49] is defined as the quotient of the mechanical output power and the electric input power, [50] calculated using this formula:

    "Windage" as applied to British muzzle-loading ordnance referred to the difference between a gun's bore and the projectile's diameter, typically 0.1–0.2 inches (2.5–5.1 mm). This gap was necessary to allow the projectile to be rammed down the length of the barrel on loading.
