Braking system is one of the important control systems of an automotive. For many years, the disc brakes have been used in automobiles for the safe retarding of the vehicles. During the braking enormous amount of heat will be generated and for effective braking sufficient heat dissipation is essential. The thermal performance of disc brake depends upon the characteristics of the airflow around the brake rotor and hence the aerodynamics is an important in the region of brake components. A CFD analysis is carried out on the braking system as a case study to make out the behavior of airflow distribution around the disc brake components using ANSYS CFX software. We are interested in the determination of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) on each surface of a ventilated disc rotor varying with time in a transient state using CFD analysis, and then imported the surface film condition data into a corresponding FEM model for disc temperature analysis.

Braking is a procedure that changes over the kinetic vitality of a vehicle into mechanical vitality, which must dissipate heat. A brake plate generally made of cast iron or clay composites is connected to the wheel. The friction material of brakes (i.e) brake cushions is upheld precisely by using pressurized water, pneumatically or electromagnetically to the two sides of the plate which holds the wheel. The present examination basically manages the modeling and breaking down a ventilated circle brake by Solid works and ANSYS. FE models of the brake are molded with solid works and reproduced by utilizing ANSYS which depends on the finite element technique (FEM). This thermal investigation is done as such as to get the quality of the brake. The suitable design is found and heat flow rates and heat fluxes in the thermal examination, are considered by fluctuating the cross segments and materials of the disc brake rotor

Brakes are the most important component of any automobile. Brakes provide the ability to reduce or bring automobile to a complete stop. The process of braking is usually achieved by applying pressure to the brake discs. The main objective of this research paper is to propose an appropriate design and to perform analysis of a suitable brake rotor to enhance the performance of the high-speed car. The design of the brake disc is modelled using Solid works and the analysis is carried out using Ansys software. The analysis has been conducted by considering stainless steel and grey cast iron using same brake rotor design so that optimal choice of brake disc can be considered. The analysis considered involves static structural analysis and steady state thermal analysis considering specific parameters on brake rotor to increase the life of brake rotor. From the analysis it is found that the performance and life of disc brake depends upon heat dissipation. From the analysis results it can be concluded that grey cast iron has performed better as compared to stainless steel as this material has anti-fade properties which improves the life of the brake rotor.
