I basically forgot one key step....the heat generation comes FROM the rotor to pad relationship....that changes things a little...I told you that I was rusty....

Heat energy is generated from pad to rotor contact, and is disipated through air to pad relationship....

You can think of it as overall energy balance...

Ein - Eout = 0

qconduction - qconvection = 0

qconduction = qconvection

So using the rambling from the previous post,

(k(Tp-Tinf))/t) = hA(Tp-Tinf)

This takes the heat flux variable out of it, and will allow you to concentrate on temps... you can solve for Tp.
