The flow passages (208) include an air inlet (210) for cooling air (CA) for entry and an air outlet (212) for exit of the cooling air. Further, the air inlet (210) includes a beak -shaped structure (214) that projects radially outward at an angle over the air inlet (210) such that, during rotation of the disc (200), the beak-shaped structure (214) scoops air and directs the scooped air to the air inlet.
