See what I mean, I am NOT an engineer! What would be of interest to me is the transfer of heat from the pad to the rotor and from the rotor to the air mass.

Brings up some interesting thoughts. If the pad and the rotor turn kinetic energy into heat, does the temperature rise at the same rate. I would think not because of mass but I would also think that material difference would be a factor. Then of course you would think that they would loose heat at a different rate. Then each would have a different begining temperature each time.

I guess what I am REALLY interested in is pad temperature. This of course to use as a guide for pad selection.

I have a convection oven, is this related
