Mechanical losses are due to friction and windage and include the power required by the mover of the cooling medium, such as the fan, blower, or pump. The friction and windage losses in watts can be estimated as. (21) where PR is the rated power in watts. The power required by the fluid mover is given by. (22)
Mechanical energy storage systems take advantage of kinetic or gravitational forces to store inputted energy. While the physics of mechanical systems are often quite simple (e.g. spin a flywheel or lift weights up a hill), the technologies that enable the efficient and effective use of these forces are particularly advanced.
