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.
