Well, this is how I would look at the rate of heat transfer or disipation. You're referring to how the heat transfers between brake pads and rotors, correct?

If that's the case (if not, just tell me), then you have to look at two cases....1. You have heat transfer between the pad and the rotor...conduction. 2. You have heat transfer from air flow over the pads and rotors....convection.

Before I go any further, is this what you're talking about?
