A methodology for determining two parameters was proposed: the effective depth of heat penetration, and the thickness of the surface layer accumulating a given amount of heat. Explicit formulas allowing estimation of the values of these parameters for a semi-infinite body heated by heat flux with a variable time profile of intensity were obtained. Ten time profiles corresponding to different types of braking were analysed. The obtained results can be used at the design stage to determine the temperature mode and then to select materials for the friction elements of a disc braking system.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
