Heat Dissipation of a Directional-Vane Disk Brake - CHT MRF

About this project

This project is a demonstration of conjugate heat transfer analysis of a directional vane disk, a critical component of a disk brake system. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the heat dissipation characteristics of the disk under the influence of airflow. The analysis is grounded in thermo-fluid dynamics, integrating principles of both thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to simulate real-world conditions. The project employs a conjugate heat transfer approach, which allows for the simultaneous examination of heat transfer due to conduction, convection, and radiation. This methodology provides a holistic understanding of the thermal behavior of the disk brake system. A rotating zone is also added to account for the rotational effects of the disk. The directional vane disk, with its unique design and material properties, plays a pivotal role in the heat dissipation process. The project aims to study the influence of airflow on this process, considering factors such as airflow velocity, direction, and ambient temperature.
