The objective of the present work is to investigate and analyze the temperature distribution rotor disk and pad during braking process, Finite volume method is used as a numerical approach to investigate the heat dissipation. The heat generate due to friction between the rotor and the pad must be perfectly dispersed to the enviroment so that avoid overheating temperature for pad and different brake system components. The analytical results of Talati and Jalalifar [1,2] and M. Kuciej [3], are reproduced for validation purposes of finite volume method employed. The results show excellent accuracy. The results also indicate the numerical approach is very efficient in determining the heat distribution in disk brake system.
