Wheel Heat Generation Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel = (Brake Drum Braking Force*Vehicle Speed)/4
H = (F*V)/4
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel - (Measured in Watt) - Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel is defined as the heat equivalent of the work done in braking at each wheel of the vehicle.
Brake Drum Braking Force - (Measured in Newton) - Brake Drum Braking Force is defined as the force acting on the brake drum by the brake shoe when the braking is actuated by the driver.
Vehicle Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Vehicle Speed given Distance required for Transition from Maingear Touchdown.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Brake Drum Braking Force: 7800 Newton --> 7800 Newton No Conversion Required
Vehicle Speed: 45 Meter per Second --> 45 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (F*V)/4 --> (7800*45)/4

Evaluating ... ...

H = 87750

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

87750 Watt -->87750 Joule per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

87750 Joule per Second <-- Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is the heat generated per second at each wheel during braking?

The heat equivalent of the work done in braking at each wheel of the vehicle is the heat generated at each brake drum of each wheel. The braking system exists to convert the energy of a vehicle in motion into thermal energy, more commonly referred to as heat. Ideally, this energy is completely absorbed by the braking system. While this is not entirely the case, for a stopping event at maximum deceleration most of the vehicle’s Kinetic Energy is converted into Thermal Energy.

How to Calculate Wheel Heat Generation Rate?

Wheel Heat Generation Rate calculator uses Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel = (Brake Drum Braking Force*Vehicle Speed)/4 to calculate the Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel, Wheel Heat Generation Rate formula is defined as the heat generated at the contact surface of the brake drums which is equivalent to the work done on the brake drums. Heat Generated per Second at Each Wheel is denoted by H symbol.
