1. Brake Rotor Performance Dave Marriott Tim Jenkins

2. Introduction Problem –Optimize Braking Performance Objective –Predict Temperature Change –Measure Torque as Temperature Changes

3. Analytical Model Lumped Capacitance (Bi =.01) q gen = 50% of Power (from measured torque and rpm) Convection –Approximated as Flat Plate –h = 22.5 W/m^2-K

4. Experiment

6. Results

8. Conclusions Mild Steel – Good for FSAE Competition Be Careful of Overheating Recommendations –Test More Materials –Further Develop Model
