I thought this might get your attention Richard. "ablation", had to look it up! Just something to keep me out of trouble. I was kicking around a device that would automatically compensate for bouyancy changes in compressed gas cylinder that could be added on to existing systems, be simple, reliable and cheap. Got bored. So now it is brakes!

Anyways, so the rotor acts main method of ridding the system of heat? In the most simplistic terms the rotor, by design and relationship to the air flow, cools faster and as the temperatures between the rotor and pad attempt to equalize thermal energy is transfered to the rotor and then disappated? Some where in the ball park?
