Use consistent units and the requested inputs.
Temperature rise from absorbed energy for this calculator. Divide energy absorbed by the component by its mass and specific heat capacity. Lumped-parameter approximation: assumes a uniform temperature and constant specific heat, neglecting heat loss.
Use consistent units and the requested inputs.
Use the main result and breakdowns as a planning estimate.
For regulated topics, verify current local rules before acting.
ΔT (°C) = energy (kJ)/(clutch mass (kg) × specific heat (kJ/kg·K)); adiabatic uniform lumped mass.
Inputs: energy=28 kJ; mass=5 kg; cp=0.46 kJ/kgK
Preliminary idealized engineering value, not a manufacturer-certified operating rating.
Thermal clutch screening assumes fixed slip torque, rpm and time or an average fixed energy per cycle. Radiation, convection, heat rejection during slip, nonuniform contact temperatures, lubricant effects, thermal inertia distribution, allowable lining temperature and clutch energy rating are NOT established. A computed temperature rise is NOT a certified operating-temperature prediction.
