As the car slows down, the brake shoe and steel drum continuously absorbs 25 W. Assume a total outside surface area of 0.1 m2 with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/Km2 to the air at 20°C. How hot does the outside brake and drum surface become when steady conditions are reached?

As the car slows down, the brake shoe and steel drum continuously absorbs 25 W. Assume a total outside surface area of 0.1 m2 with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/Km2 to the air at 20°C. How hot does the outside brake and drum surface become when steady conditions are reached? Correct Answer 45°C

∆Τ = heat / hA hence ∆T = = 25/(10 × 0.1) = 25°C Τ(BRAKE) = 20 + 25 = 45°C.
