ABSTRACT |
In this study, in order to examine the cooling efficiency of a carbon-ceramic brake disk, the temperature
distribution of the disk, depending on the AMS (Auto-Motor-Sport) Fade mode, was analyzed using a numerical method. Two
brake disks with different straight ventilation hole shapes were considered. The ventilation holes configuration was changed
from base models in order to find a higher cooling efficiency disk design. In the Model A disk, the mean temperatures of the
mid-plane and the entire disk, at the AMS Fade mode end time decreased 1.9 oC and 3 oC, hole length respectively. This was
done by decreasing the length of the a2 hole from 94 mm to 59 mm. When a2 hole length was increased from 94 mm to 128
mm, the mean temperature of the entire disk and the disk mid-plane increased 3.7 oC and 16.2 oC, respectively. This was due
to the increased affined air stagnation in the disk. In the Model B disk, after removing stagnation region of the b2 hole, the hole
diameter expanded from 13 mm to 17.6 mm. As a result, the mean temperature of the entre disk and the mid-plane decreased
2.8 oC and 18.7 oC, respectively, (compared to the base model). As a result, increasing the surface area of the ventilation holes
gave a higher cooling efficiency. |
